quick question can they eat pellet food?

My meaties are almost 5 weeks old, can they be switched to pellet food instead of crumbles? Thanks

They shouldn't have any prob with it. I fed mine pellet because it's the only kind they had but I did food process it for the first few weeks...I believe mine were on pellet by 5 weeks old though. They all did fine with it.

Thanks! I just called the mill and they don't actually have pellets in the food I am buying. The flock raiser 22% protein. Hmm, I was just wondering if it would be more economical because I have went through 450 pounds of feed already and still have 3 1/2 weeks before processing date.
