Gamefowl Feeding Guide — Thunderbird vs Supremo Infinity vs B-MEG
TL;DR: Thunderbird (₱55-70/kg) is the premium, 100% gamefowl-specific line — the brand top breeders like Sonny Lagon and Eddie Bong Plaza use for foundation stock. Supremo Infinity (₱40-55/kg) is the value pick with a complete gamefowl line, and B-MEG Integra (₱35-45/kg) is the most available but not gamefowl-specific. Many breeders mix Thunderbird for broodstock with a cheaper brand for growing stags.

Note: B-MEG Integra is a free-range poultry line, not gamefowl-specific. It works well for gamefowl but lacks the specialized formulations (like Bioplex, GUANIMVP, etc.) found in Thunderbird and Supremo Infinity. For conditioning, you may want to supplement with a gamefowl-specific conditioning feed.

What’s the Daily Feeding Schedule Across All Brands?
The same four-checkpoint daily rhythm applies no matter which brand you feed — only the product in the trough changes.
- 6:00 AM — Morning feed: pellets/crumble + fresh clean water with vitamins
- 10:00 AM — Free range if available. Birds forage for insects, greens, grit naturally.
- 3:00 PM — Afternoon feed: grains/mixed feed or second serving of maintenance feed
- 5:00 PM — Return to pen/cage. Fresh water. Check for any health issues.
The morning vitamins in the water are separate from feed brand entirely — see our vitamins and supplements guide for what to actually put in that water.
Which Brand Should You Use?
If budget is no issue: Thunderbird all the way. Best products, best results, best brand in sabong.
If you want value for money: Supremo Infinity. Complete gamefowl line at 20-30% less than Thunderbird.
If availability is your priority: B-MEG Integra. You’ll never run out of supply — it’s everywhere.
The hybrid approach (recommended): Use Thunderbird for your foundation trio and Group A broodstock. Use Supremo Infinity or B-MEG for Group B stags and bulk growing chicks. This gives you premium nutrition where it matters most while keeping costs manageable as your flock grows.
