We put in a side feeder mixed with a little grit as well. Of course on the side. Its not feed but a supplement.Recommendation is to offer oyster shell on the side, not put it into the feed.
Its not the whole bag. Just like a thin layer so it is consumed in moderation. Never mentioned the mixed ratio was as well.oyster shell and grit should be in separate containers, not mixed.
Unless you want to raise the chicks separately till they're the same size as the hens, I would put the hen and chicks with the flock and switch them all to a grower or all flock feed. The reason is that the hen will protect the chicks from the other flock members when they are small. By the time the hen is finished raising them, they are seen as flock members.I need your help.
My hen just has 2 chicks and I separate from the other Hens, when will be good time to separate from mama . I am afraid that she is eating the medicated chicks food.
Thank You all.

I'm looking at the tag for Feather Fixer. Tag says feed to chickens and roosters over 16 weeks of age. It contains 3.25 to 3.75% calcium. Way to much for 8 week olds. Buy the Starter- Grower, and offer Oyster Shell in a separate container. GCSo what about the other way around? I have 8 week olds out in the coop with the others. I give feather fixer to everyone and when the chicks went to the coop put out chick starter grower. Of course everyone ate the chick food and now it's gone.
My question is should I buy another bag of the starter grower? Or will the chicks be ok switched over to the feather fixer now?
