Title: options for bobwhite chick feed?
Post by: galaxie428 on May 13, 2008, 02:45:12 PM

Hi all. I have a bit of a delima. My local feed store told me they carried Startina Gamebird feed so when I went to pick some up, they were out. I could possibly have birds hatching tomorrow and now I don't know what to do. I have flight conditioner that I feed my adult birds but it is only 20%. Do you think that would be ok as long as I grind it up until I can get the other? They said it may be Friday or next Wednesday before they can get it in.

Are there any other option on what to feed them?

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can give me.

Jason.

  Buy a bag of soybean meal, mix 4 scoops of 20% with 2 scoops of 48% meal to get 29.33%  If your bean meal is rated at 44%, mix 4 to three for 30.28%  This is not the best, since it cuts vitamin/mineral levels, but you can buy that in powder form.
