Hi there! I've been raising chickens/chicks for 6 years now and by no means an expert. I've been looking at getting some Silkies and was told by an "expert" that Silkie chicks were NOT to eat medicated chick feed. True or false??

She cannot offer any other info other than that they shouldn't eat it. No reason why either, uugh. She also said 6 vets and 1 breeder gave her this info.Why not? Silkies are just as susceptible to coccidiosis as any other chicken not raised in a sterile environment.
What does said "expert" suggest you do should one of your silkies come down with coccidiosis? Wish upon a star?
