I have four chicks, two Rhode Island reds and two black Australorps, all roughly about four months old. They've already gotten so big, where does the time go? So far, since we've gotten them, they've been on medicated chick feed. But, just out of curiosity, when is it okay to switch them from the chick feed to just regular chicken feed? The feed store we bought them from, the person helping us said we would easily go through five fifty pound bags of the medicated stuff. So I was wondering at what age can they be switched over? Does it have to be gradually? Like mixing the foods little by little to wean them off the chick feed? Or can they just be switched right then and there with no problems?
Being new to raising chickens, I would like all the opinions I can get. All sources of advice are more than welcome.
