Purina vs Blue Seal

[CowGrrrl]

i have always gone to blue seal for all of my grain for all my animals they have good prices and have had good luck with them!

Same here!

i have fed blue seal for decades to my dogs and cats...i have recommended to my clients and the coats are beautiful on every dog and cat who have eaten it...you can spot the coats of a blue seal dog!!..we now have our horses on it, and my chestnut bay just glimmers in the sun --> just beautiful...and the horse vet was thrilled with the way they looked after the winter!!..you can easily get it from almost every feed and grain store for very decent prices...i am getting my first chickens this week and there is no question i will put them on blue seal...however, my local feed and grain store only carries medicated starter and i have learned that you don't give medicated starter to birds who have been vaccinated against coccidia...and there isn't time to order unmedicated starter, so they will be started on another brand (NOT purina) but put over to blue seal on the next level of feed...the other thing that i love about blue seal is they have NEVER had a recall of any of their products!! (don't know if purina has had a recall)...i trust blue seal, and my animals will not be eating any other feed...sharon

my local orschlens was a kent dealer about 5 years ago but i never used kent products...only reason i didn't was because my orschlens was also a purina dealer at the time so i bought i was using purina. same orschlen is now a nutrena dealer now though so my chicks get that.

i have heard good things about kent so if i had the chance i would try some of the chicken feed to try but i also like purina...and nutrena isnt to bad either the chick starter always smells fresh and yummy and my cochin girls been on it since day one and they have always liked it

Blue Seal..... I am very happy with their quality of feed. I had first used Blue Seal many years ago when I had my first 2 rabbits. They were very healthy rabbits for their entire life. So when I got the chickens 2 years ago and 3 new rabbits I went with Blue Seal again. The chickens get BS organic layer pellets and BS scratch ( I wish that came in organic)The rabbits are also feed BS bunny food.

sunnyskies....thanks for your info about the poultry feed recall...i don't have chickens yet so i didn't know about it...what i do know is that when there was a big recall on dog food/cat food, blue seal was not recalled...didn't know about the poultry food however...thanks for the info...sharon

It was a long time ago, so I personally would not worry about it. If I could get Blue Seal locally, I'd try it.

Just about every manufacturer of every feed has some sort of recall. They happen.

I feed our dogs blue seal natural 26. My dog has been on it since I brought her home as a puppy 5 years ago. My fiancee's dog who was very over weight with a dull coat when I met her got switched to it almost 3 years ago. She will be 13 this year her coat glistens now and is pretty darn spunky for going on 13.not to mention in the first few months she lost her extra 20 lbs. As far a chicken feed. My chicken have been on it since they came home last may. They lay nice hard shelled eggs. Im in maine and out of 15 . 9 month old pullets they have layed between 8 and 15 eggs a day since they started laying in oct. On another note I had to buy a different brand of chicken food once since they started laying. the feed store i get blue seal from closes early sometimes.It was nutrena. Purchased at tractor supply. It was more expensive than my blue seal and a few days after feeding it the eggs shells started getting thinner and I got my first egg that the shell collapsed trying to collect the eggs. I immediately bought blue seal again and the eggs went right back withing a few days to so hard u can pretty much drop them and they dont break. Blue seal for life for me.
