Question: I have white Cochins Bantams and I have fed the show chow for 3 months. What in the feed is affecting the white feather color? My birds are yellow. They are housed indoors year around.

Answer: Charles,

The Honor Show Chow Broiler Complete feed has a high yellow pigmentation from xanthophyll. The fat level of the feed could also be affecting the coloring of your birds.

You may consider using the Sunfresh Recipe Flock Raiser product (as long as they are growing birds and not producing eggs). When they begin to produce eggs, you will need to transition them to Layena.

You can request these product from you local Purina Feed Dealer.
