We will be getting buckeye chicks here soon and I am conflicted on whether they need medicated food or not. We are ordering from Tractor Supply and when I spoke with a worker on the phone I was told they are unvaccinated. Since they will be egg and meat birds I saw they need a higher protein feed, I was going to go with 20%. All of the medicated feed I found is only 18% though. So my question is, do we need the medicated or the higher protein? If we go with non medicated I read that we could add First Peep, a natural chicken supplement for digestion. Not sure which option is best. First time (soon to be) chicken owner and there is sooooooo much conflicting information.
