I wouldn't use broiler pellets for chicks that aren't broilers. But I worry about food, so I would say that.Came back yesterday. My neighbour was a fantastic chicken-sitter.
The 3 broodies kept the eggs warm and the 3 other hens got a chance to free range every day.
She took Kraai and the fake egg out of the third nestbox to break her broodiness. Today she was ready with her attempt.
My DDs boyfriend bought a large bag with chick feed at the mill. I ordered chick crumble but he bought a bag with pellet feed for broiler chicks. And now I wonder if this is right or wrong?
Is feed for broilers okay for heritage breed chicks too that hopefully will be laying hens someday?
I can’t find good info on this subject. Its organic and not medicated. I can post a pic of the bag tomorrow if you want more info.
@Perris , I’m tagging you because you are an expert on feed. But I appreciate other opinions too.
