I made the switch as many have to an All Flock type product due to the high calcium content of layer feed and potential negative impact the high calcium may have on the rooster.
I was reading the label of Purina Feather Fixer and saw that it said that it can be feed to near laying hens and rooster of 16 weeks + in age. So what gives? I don’t believe I have seen any other feed specifically listed as “rooster” feed.
Now I am assuming that if it would in fact have a negative impact on a rooster that a feed company would not take the chance and list it as such. Calcium content runs 3.25-3.75% just like nearly any layer feed I have seen. So could it be that all this no no no layer feed for the rooster is not true. I really doubt a feed company would list it as such on the bag if it was bad to them.
