Best food for rooster

[WVprincess]

I have a rooster that is about 6 months old I'm looking into what the best thing to feed him is. Any suggestions?

All flock would be good for all the birds in the flock if you have a mixed flock.

All Flock or Grower.

No Cockerels or Roosters here, but if I did I would feed them what I feed my girls.
I feed all my Hens and Pullets a Non-Medicated Starter-Grower or a All-Flock/Flock Raiser feed with 18-20% Protein with Oyster Shells separately. GC

Grower is that the same as the chick starter?

You feed chick grower after chick starter.

It's usually lower in Protein, sometimes lower than Layer feed. .
I would never feed this low of Protein to any age Chicken. 18 to 20% for my girls.
I feed a Starter Grower combo, it's good till they lay eggs and beyond if Non-Medicated. GC
ETA; Of course you would provide Oyster Shells when they are close to Laying

Grower feed is like chicken feed for teenage chickens. Grower feed contains a protein content that is between 16-18% but has less calcium than normal layer feed. Grower feed supports the growth of teenage chickens without giving them unnecessary vitamins and minerals that are more suited for laying hens.

I feed all my birds growers mash with a side dish of oyster shells, they also free range through the feilds during the day.
