And finally, DuMOR produced for the Tractor Supply Company is recalling a poultry feed due to incorrect packaging. This one can be confusing if you look at the FDA site, so here it is in a nutshell. Some packages of DuMOR Poultry Grower/Finisher (which is for chicks) actually contain DuMOR Poultry Layer 16% Crumbles (which is for egg layers). The adult food can be harmful to chicks. (For more information contact your Tractor Supply Company location, or Feed Solutions Customer Service at 615-315-4092 or 615-315-4090 (Monday-Friday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM CDT).
