Great

My daughter raises fancy turkeys and I just buy the feed as that’s what parents do. We feed this to Poults and young birds and to hens that are laying and boy can you tell the difference in the birds that are just getting all flock. Good product as well just not for the young Poults we are raising.

Great feed!

I raise quail and wouldn’t use any other starter for me bobwhite chicks. Actually I feed the flight conditioner and the breeder mix too! I’m sold on the quality of Purina feeds!

Best feed for quails

I bought some of this and am thrilled with the results. I wish it was easier to come by. It’s not a readily stocked product.
