So i have a question about feed for gamefowl. I bought some gamefowl/ turkey starter for the biddies and some gamefowl pellets. The starter is 27% protein and the pellets are 25 % protein. is there anything else i should be looking for in feed to let me know its good feed or not so good feedmfor gamefowl.

Yup. I had as many as 13 at one time a few years ago. Could barely stand the racket. It's something to do with the cadence of their calls that drives me nuts. Ain't the brightest birds either. Got em for all the ticks. Still had ticks and had to listen too em.

sounds like a lose lose

bump. I used to feed the fancy mixed feed I used to mix layer, cracked corn, calf manna, black oil sunflower, with a base of pigeon conditioner but between the price, labor and the birds only eating what they liked and waisting a lot only to leave it to mold I just use starter till they can physically swallow a pellet. They're all on pellets and they do great and if they don't like them they can starve. And no neither have spangling that's all sheen

What kind of pellet are you feeding and what's the protein? I'm feeding all my young ones a mix of crumbles to get around 24% and all the others are getting Black Rooster from Big V feeds. The only thing I see them not eating much is the australian peas and an occasional whole corn.

You are a wise man... Pellets work well for a couple of reasons, as you shared. The pellet is an easy size and provides complete nutrition. The birds can't pick and choose with pellets, each pellet is a "balanced" bite.
