Greetings,

All my chicks and turkeys were born the first week of June.  They went 
to eating half starter and half grain last week.  This week, it is pure 
grains.  I never feed any layer or grower pellets or mash and I get 
great tasting meat, well grown birds and lots of egg production.  My 
birds are on pasture as well.  They also get every horned worm I can 
find on my tomatoes, which some mornings lately has been quite a feast.

Bright Blessings,
Kim
