To young for all flock?

[21hens-incharge]

I ordered Purina flock raiser 2 weeks ago through our usual feed store.
I went to pick it up today and it is not there.
I checked TSC....they are out.

Hoping not to have to drive all over raises the question.....

At 4 weeks old can they go on All Flock?
Would it be worse than getting chick starter and adding yeast?

I feed that to my hens already. I have nutritional yeast so can add that.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Purina Flock Raiser can be fed until POL.

if you want to feed chick started you will need to add some niacin.

But they're out. Would all flock be OK to substitute?

I cannot get the flock raiser. I ordered but none has been delivered.

Normally TSC has it in stock.....during duckling season, but is sold out right now.

Found some!! Feed store is 30 miles and they are holding a bag for me!

Off to grab it before someone else does.

Okay, still confused. What feed can you get?

Yes you could have fed All Flock. Just in case it it happens again.

I am ok now but it was looking like I would need to get either chick starter or use the all flock I feed my hens.

Soooo....the feed I ordered 2 weeks ago (flock raiser) never arrived.
The question was if an all flock is safe for ducklings just 4 weeks old.

I had been calling all the feed stores around me to try and find flock raiser.
Fearing the worst I wondered if I was worried over nothing.

I did find flock raiser finally and now have 2 bags for my sweet little waddle tots. (Who still think I am Godzilla)

Thank you. I had one bag reserved as they only had 4 in stock. I went ahead and got 2.

I think when these are gone they will be good to go on the all flock full time.

I am not one to let animal feed run low let alone out so was a bit miffed followed by panicked that my order from 2 weeks ago had not arrived.
