I went and picked up feed this morning and its went up again. I buy mine from co-op, they mix it local. It's called Rooster booster its 18% and a 50# bag cost $16.22. Seems like every two months it goes up. Whats everyone else paying right now and has it went up for you also?
it went up for me but i'm in east tn also and i get it from co-op and i would like to know if it went up for anyone else
I mix my on, but the price on grain itself is always up and down here. The only thing that stay`s close to the same is lay pellets. I was feeding a pre mixed feed until the price keep going up every week, like your talking about.
The prices always seem to be getting higher,at the co op I pick it up from the price for a 50# bag of feed is $24.99 and the gamebird pellets are now $26.99.These are the prices here in Hawai'i,the island that I live on.
My personal experience with co-op feeds is that its junk and full of bugs. Maybe its just the co-op I deal with. If your in TN I would try to find the Gamecock feed mixed in Loretta TN. Ive always used with good results and its about $13.25 per 50 lbs.
I spend $28.99 for manok mix its expensive but real good for my roosters.
I live in east tn. too and have been buying feed that is hauled in from KY> by a guy that mixes for game chickens he has maintenance feed and a 9 grain conditioning feed. it is 16.00 for fifty of the cond. and 13 for fifty of the maint.feed. We have been mixing two of the maint. to one of the cond.feed. if you pm me I will find out where all he delivers in east tn. I think you will like it too.Originally Posted by mclean2
if yall guys can drive to crossville tn i buy my feed there at bobs feed and i buy it in barrells if you got your own they will fill them up or sale you some barrells then you will have some to get feed the next time. but anyway i buy 18% rooster booster wit grit added and i bought 1960lb the other day and it was about $350 i think of top my head thats less than $10 a fifty pound.i usually get five barrells when i go and they average nearly 400 lb and its usually around $70 a barrell.
BIGG JOE whats the name of it and protein %? I used to get some out of Kentucky also but got tired of them being out at the store I got it from.
Kelsoroosters I got some from Crossville (Bobs Feed & Fertillizer) but it had to much whole corn in it for the summer, I liked it for the winter. It was 16% protein.The co-op brand I don't have a prob with bugs its just made in the next county over and is supper fresh.The smell reminds me of sweet feed. I'd say its the molasses in it I smell.
I live in East TN also and Rooster Booster here is $12.95 for 50lb. and Knockout Game Bird feed and its $12 for 50lb.
I live in western North Carolina and the only game feed that my local store carries is uppercut gamecock food its $15.50 a bag my chickens seem to like it.
i buy high spirit gamebird feed and it cost 20.00
Anyone know of a good feed in the Arkansas area I'm sick of mixing my own.
Wabug I think thats made in crossville Tn. If it is its very good feed just to much whole corn for the summer for me...
You boys in Tn have some good deals over there. Im paying about $14 a sack for simple 16% lay pellets and $12 a sack for hen scratch. A couple years ago they were both about $5 a sack cheaper.
im from tn too and having the same problem with prices . just changed feed from caliente conditioner to a feed called cutting edge its all like rooster booster but one is 17% protein and the other is 16%. saved about 3dollars on 50 pound bag
Blackstealth thats where it made it does have a lot of corn in it but in the summer I mix it with pellets and soaked oats.
I live just a couple miles from Arkansas, they have Blue Bonnet Gamecock and Gamecock conditioner at Hirsch Feed Store in West Plains MO. Not sure how far you are from there though.

Yeah I use to feed blue bonnet it's great feed if I can't find anything cheaper and closer thats the road I'll be taking.
I am paying 10.00 wholesale for 50 lbs of scratch and 13.25 for pellets.

You could always try Black Rooster, I know Hirsch sells it also, it's cheaper but not as good of quality in my opinion.
My area FRM puts out a good Gamecocock mix Gamecock conditioner and Gamecock Maintainence. I prefer the Conditioner as it doesnt have as much corn in it.Was paying $11 /50 for it it went up to almost $16/50 I dont carry as many extra breeders and clean up my walkups a little better.
corn is $13.50 in one place $11.50 in others,$16 for breeding pellets.its getting hard for us here in california.
Every where is still cheaper than Hawai'i.But that's the price we pay for livin in Paradise.
Anyone tried Blue Bonnet?
That's what we use.
I live in mexico so we pay for a mixture of grains about 20$.. for 33 kilos..the only thing thats goes up or down is the value of the dollar!! So if it goes down we spend more money but when it goes up well that another story.
yea i live in nc and i buy super gamecock feed from my local feed stores it, different stores differ in prices i usually pay 11:50 for a 50lb bag, at my 2 other stores its 13.00 and 15.00
We let the supplier mix our feeds on our own incredients and we purchased by ton (750.00)
17.85 for my custom mixed feed and thats getting a ton at a time. It sure beats the other comercial mixes and I really like it but its hurting my pockets. Guys from Hawaii if you get Leach feed you might want to start asking them to see if you can get some JCJFARMS mix so we all can get a better price. I know they sell a lot of high octane over there.
