What brand/type of poultry feed do you use?

[Attack Chicken]

Ok I am sick of getting the Purina Flock Raiser that is just dust in the bag. My chickens just flick it out of their hanging feed and the quail just seem to want to dustbathe in it. I miss the Kent feed that the TSC here used to sell and can't find anywhere else close that sells it. There is a place that carries Hubbard? feed but would it be good for quail to? I talked to a guy that runs a feed/seed store and they carry a gamebird feed that starts with a S i think and it's from TN but i couldn't find it anywhere on Google.

So what do you all use? I use crumbles.

I get my feed made with my recipe at the local co-op. you can see whats in it.

My chickens like the crumbles best. The local feed store has something they call crumbles, but it's more like half mash and half super small crumbles. They will NOT eat anything powdery at ALL. The TSC here has Purina Layer Crumbles, and so far it's what they are eating. It gets gobbled up pretty fast, so they must like it! Also give cracked corn and assorted veggies and stuff like yogurt, fruit, leftover pasta, etc. Also give them free choice grit and oyster shell.

Hi! I use Albers All-Purpose Poultry Crumbles. My chickens love it! I wouldn't thing there would be anything wrong with having your other birds eat it too.

I use flock raiser (purina) for my turkeys, and it is crumbles- not dusty really at all. The chickens are always sneaking in to get it. I like it, the birds like it. I wonder why your bags are so dust like. I would complain nicely to the feed store and show them a sample- they can let the supplier know. It may be a processing glitch.

The crumble size is very similar to other crumbles I have used (chick starts from various mills and layer crumbles from purina and others).

I use crumbles also. There was too much waste with the mash. They got it all over the place. I did read you can mix the mash with water to make it like oatmeal. But that sounds like a pain doing that every day.

I use nutrena layer crumbles. So far so good, no issues.

I use 20% protein layer pellets from Sabine Valley Mills.

Nutrena grower/finisher crumbles.

Right know I use Kent Feed (High Flyer).
To me any of the feed listed below would be better than Purina.

Kent Feed
Blue Seal Feed
Evergreen Feed
above 3 are sister companies
Buckeye Feed
