    Medicated or non medicated?

    i'm asking this again with a quote attached! i'm very interested in the fermented food and how you introduce it. is that the ONLY thing you feed new chicks and i'm assuming they'd get some grit with it? i've got baby chicks coming the end of march and this is my first flock! thanks so much!
