Can i give only corn powder to my day old chickens for few days ?

Yes, but don't do it longer than needed.

Corn isn't very high in protein and they need 18-20% to grow well.

Which which seeds have much protein ?
post #4 of 4
There are no easily available seeds that have more than 12% (oats). Soybean and peas have high protien and are mixed with the other things to bring up the percentage unless the producer uses some sort of meat or fish powder.

Love those Orps!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!
