I went to Edwards against my better judgement.
Pluses: This time, they didn't try to convince me that my chicks were going to die if I used unmedicated feed. The tag says that it's unmedicated starter with 21% protein, 5% fat. The lot date is March 10th and it smells fresh. $10.95/50#.
Minuses: It's NOT crumble. It looks like beach sand with cracked corn stirred in. I'd be very hesitant to feed it to young chicks with the size of the corn but at 7-8 weeks, it will do for mine. I expect that I'll have to moisten to keep them from just picking through it, though. It doesn't say anything about Tucker on the label and once again, I don't feel like I got what I asked for.
