Heygates Super Starter Mini Crumbs are a premium, ultra-fine starter feed designed to give young birds the strongest possible start. Originally formulated for game birds, this feed is ideal for a wide range of species including pheasants, partridge, quail, guinea fowl and other game birds, and is also recommended as a suitable alternative for turkey poults where dedicated turkey starter crumbs are unavailable. The super fine crumb texture is perfect for day-old chicks, helping encourage early feeding and ensuring maximum nutrient uptake during the most critical first days of life. Made with high-quality fish meal, this feed provides a natural-style protein source similar to what chicks would find in the wild, supporting rapid growth, strong development and early vitality.
