If you ask they might be able to order it for you. I know ours only carries the game feed in 5 lb bags but said they will/can order anything from any feed producer they carryI’ve yet to come across any all flock feed at any of the feed stores.
X2Not true. Roosters do NOT need 20% or higher.
I wasn't addressing the layer feed. Just the protein percentage.X2
16% layer feed hasn't hurt anybody that I know of. That's all my roosters eat, we don't keep corn or scratch grains in all the time, so everybody, even our gander, gets layer feed.
Frostbite is the main factor for a purple comb, or he may have a "cold", this can also cause a purple tone to their combs, but if he acts normal, and his breathing is okay, I wouldn't worry too much.Any idea why this guy’s comb would be turning purple off and on? Not cold enough for frost bite. Seems normal otherwise. I don’t think it’s an injury.

Of course not! No worries.Frostbite is the main factor for a purple comb, or he may have a "cold", this can also cause a purple tone to their combs, but if he acts normal, and his breathing is okay, I wouldn't worry too much.
My sister's rooster used to turn purple. His face and comb when he was mad or was fighting to be held. But, I think it was more that because he passed due to some respiratory issue sadly. Even though we treated him.
OH, oops.
My mistake. No hard feelings?
That's good! Thanks.Of course not! No worries.
