I don't want to feed medicated starter to my chicks. Organic is super expensive (2x the regular price), so the guys at the farm store thought duck starter may work as it's not medicated. The protein percentage in the duck feed is also a wee bit higher than in the chick starter too. These are going to be laying birds (except for whoever turns out to be roosters!).

My chicks are hatching in the bator right now! :)

What do you guys all think, is it ok to feed duck starter to chicks? Besides the medication in the chick starter, what's the difference?
