They might differ slightly in which grain and protein meal used but the vitamin and mineral premix will be the same. Just make sure the bag you buy is fresh.

I use the riverina and I find it excellent all my chick seem to like it from day one and they grow well on it I think its has more vitamins and minerals than most of the others and if I am right he has some grit also included for their digestion
