thoughts on poulin grain chick starter?

[froggyphore]

my chicks are 3-4 weeks old and have been eating PG since they were 5-7 days + a little unknown starter with grit this past week. i don't know much about chick nutrition and i'm worried PG doesn't have enough calcium (0.90-1.20%) anyone have experience with/opinions on it?

Are you sure you read the label correctly? That’s way too little protein. The feed shud be somewhere between 18 and 24%.

sorry, that was supposed to say calcium. my browser crashed when i was posting so i rewrote it quickly w/o proofreading.

Chick feed should have very low calcium, in the neighborhood of 1%. When you see around 4% calcium that's layer feed.
