went to get grower but was given “meat builder”?

[kelzey]

so we get our feed from someone locally (their family has been selling purina feed for generations or something) and i asked for grower but got this? i bought grower from them before earlier in the year, but i’m sure it said something other than this. i have layer and medicated starter from them also and the starter has a bigger protein percent so i’m really confused. is this “meat builder” still okay to give my 9/10 week old chicks? i have two silkie cockerels who are on the medicated starter at the moment. can provide picture of the tag on the starter bag also if necessary

I don't see why it wouldn't be okay

okay, thank you! i worry about everything when it comes to my babies. i just didn’t know if the lower protein would be an issue

Mine are raised on the 16% layer, so I don't think yours have anything to worry about. Are they meat birds or layers?

Looks like decent stuff. I’d use it for my birds.

well this is for my silkie cockerels, so i think it should be okay. thank you for helping! need to learn to stop worrying about things that shouldn’t be worried about haha

Then yeah, it will be fine

Yup, looks fine to me. I don't get caught up in what they call the feed, the nutrition panel is really all that matters.

That feed is pellets. I don't know if they are mini-pellets. If that is a concern, I would return. Otherwise 18% Protein and less than 2% Calcium is good for Cockerels. GC
