    I just purchased: Brown's Encore Natural Chick Starter Baby Chicken Feed, 7-lb bag https://app.chewy.com/bbPsklFgrM I thought it was non-medicated. After reading the packaging thoroughly, it has Amprolium added. I am hatching ducklings this weekend and need a starter crumble without medication...

    Medicated feed, is it ever too late?

    My chicks are now 3 weeks old and I started them on non-medicated feed. I am now considering switching them to medicated. The medicated vs. non-medicated debate aside, would starting them 3 weeks in offer any benefit? They have not been introduced to the outside area yet, other than some dirt I...

    Changing Feed brand and going to Medicated

    Hello, I currently use Naturewise chick starter, however I plan on changing to Purina Chick starter Medicated. Can I change to medicated just like that? Or do I need to mix old food(non medicated) and new food(medicated) together at first?

    Are all poultry feeds medicated??

    My father was told by orschlens and our local coop that they add something/medication (don't ask me what!) to all their poultry feeds except the wild gamebird feed. I'm not sure what it is or what it treats (again, second hand info (ranting) from my father!) But he said the guy at the coop said...

    Necessary vaccinations

    Hi, I am new to raising chickens. Over the past ten weeks, I have been raising three Rhode Island Reds and three Plymouth Rocks from pullets. They were med free at purchase so I immediately started them on medicated chick starter to get them going. They've gone through two bags and I just...

    Medicated vs Non-Medicated Feed

    From my YouTube channel, just a short discussion of why we no longer feed medicated feed to our chicks, though we did begin our chicken keeping career about 12 years ago by giving them the medicated feed with amprolium, believing it would prevent coccidiosis.
