DAREN MY RECOMMENDATIONS TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN PURINA STARTRENA GBS 30% UNMEDICATED FROM HATCH TO DISPATCH. BARRING THAT ANY BRAND OF 28-30% GBS..( GAMEBIRD... I SAY GAMEBIRD BOY! ARE YOU LISTENIN TO ME SON?
) AND IN SOME CASES MEDICATED IS ALL THAT CAN BE HAD IN MANY GEOGRAPHIES.... QUITE A FEW FEED MEDICATED GBS FROM HATCH TO DISPATCH BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CHOICE. FOR MY GROUND PENS THEY GET MEDICATED FEED FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK OUT OF EVERY QUARTER YEARLY--- BOBS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO MANY AILMENTS AND MOST ARE BACTERIA ON THE GROUND IN NATURE... SO WHEN THE GIRLS ARENT LAYING IN THOSE PENS THEY GET A SHOT OF ANTIBIOTICS PROPHYLACTICALLY. THIS IS A NECESSARY EVIL WITH BOB WHITES ON THE GROUND ONLY= NOT COTURNIX OR OTHER SPECES AND NOT WITH BIRDS IN ELEVATED WIRE PENS.
I DONT ENDORSE "FLOCK RAISER" CRAP... AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON DULESS CHICKEN STARTER BEING FALSELY ADVERTISED AS SUITABLE FOR GAMEBIRDS... WE SHOULD TAR AND FEATHER THAT ADVERTISING COMPANY! AND I HAVE YET TO SEE A QUAIL WITH ELIPTICAL PUPILS, RETRACTABLE CLAWS, OR ONES THAT CAN PURR REALISTICALLY... SO CAT FOOD'S OUT TOO
BESIDES CAT FOOD IS LIKE 3X MORE PER POUND THAN ANY COMMERCIALLY MADE GBS--- SO HOW'S THAT SAVING YOU MONEY? NOT TO MENTION LETHAL DOSES OF SALT AND FAT AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE--- SAVE THE CATFOOD FOR GRANDMA SO SHE CAN SEND ALL HER MONEY TO THE TELEVANGELISTS.
THEN WE HAVE THE CROWD THAT LIKES TO PLAY MAD SCIENTIST IN THE BASEMENT WITH AN OSTER BLENDER... TOILING AWAY TRYING DESPERATELY TO COME WITH AN ACCEPTABLE FEED FORMULA THEY CAN PRODUCE AT HOME ALL WHILE HOPING THEY DONT MAKE ENOUGH GRAIN DUST THAT BECOMES EXPLOSIVE AND WIPES THE FAMILY FARM OFF THE MAP WHEN THE HOT WATER HEATER KICKS ON... LUGGING AND TOTING HEAVY SACKS OF RAW GRAINS AND RUNNING ALL OVER GOD'S GREEN EARTH TO PROCURE IT WHILE BEING FORCED TO BUY IT IN TON+ QUANTITIES... HECK EVEN MASSIVE COMMERCIAL FARMS DONT GO THRU THAT... THEY ORDER IT PREMIXED FROM THE MILL AND DELIVERED... OR IF TIGHT WADS LIKE ME THEY GO GET IT FROM THE MILL... UNLESS YOU HAVE UNLIMITED RESOURCES IN MONEY AND LAND TO PRODUCE ALL THE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED YOU CANT MAKE IT PAYOFF BY THE TIME YOU GO THRU ALL THAT.
THEN THERES THE TREE HUGGERS... GOD LOVE Y'ALL
AND GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THAT CERTIFIED ORGANIC STUFF I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH A VIABLE AND REAL ALTERNATIVE FOR YOU... SERIOUSLY, BECAUSE WHATS OUT THERE NOW.. ISNT. AND FOLKS ARE RIPPING YOU OFF PRICE WISE. I ADMIRE AND EVEN SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING.. I REALLY DO, I MEAN WHO WANTS TO EAT ETHYL METHYL TERRIBLE SATURATED ANYTHING? AND MOST FOLKS JUST DONT KNOW, BUT I WILL BE DANGED IF I AM GOING TO PAY 3 TIMES MORE FOR A LESSER QUALITY PRODUCT... NOT THAT I WOULDNT LIKE TO, I JUST CANT
AND THE ANSWER SHOPPERS... YOU KNOW THE ONES THAT KEEP SHOPPING UNTIL THEY GET THE ANSWER THEY WANT... IRREGUARDLESS OF HOW CORRECT OR INCORRECT IT IS? OR HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET IT
YES THE GREAT FEED DEBATE IS AND HAS BEEN RUNNING IN A MUCH VARIED WAY FOR QUITE SOMETIME... YOU COULD SAY IT IS A CONSTANT STAPLE AROUND HERE... AND BEFORE ANYONE GETS THEIR BLOOMERS IN A BUNCH OR FLAMES ME OR GETS OUT OF BALANCE ABOUT THIS... DONT TAKE IT PERSONALLY. WE ALL HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES AND VIEWS. THESE ARE JUST CHRONIC OBSERVATIONS YOU'LL SEE HERE IF YOU HANG AROUND AND WATCH LONG ENOUGH
