Hi people.. Has anyone used rearer pellets? Supplier said they are same as growers just the difference is name?

[ANHBUC]

That is right, just a different name.

[GrannieAnnie]

I second that!

Substantially I believe that is correct ! Technically wrong ! growers are for layers ,Rearers are for table birds I believe .

[GrannieAnnie]

It may technically be wrong Sparky, but when we buy 'rearer' pellets, different companies use different names.

We have never dealt with a company that sells both growers and rearers pellets as if you look at these links they are the same thing.

We fed both our layer pullets and our meat pullets the same thing.

Thank u guys, hopefully they will like this better instead of horrel n dodson's growers.  :-)

Farmgate is generally better stuff, but we use Bearts when we can get hold of it.  Don't know if anyone around you sells it.

When we had lots of poultry, they used to deliver it, but now we only have 17, they don't need a tonne at a time!

Just going by what I was taught in college Grannie  But that was more years ago than I care to think about  :blink:

Ahhh, so you are one of the old school, when things were done 'proper',  like we are.  But so much has changed in recent years sparky!

I agree
