    Introducing new chickens to a new coop with existing chickens

    Bartlett Starter Grower Feed with Apex

    Does anyone know if Bartlett brand starter grower with apex is a medicated feed. I have a new batch of chicks coming that will already be vaccinated for coccidiosis and don’t want to feed them medicated feed. This is the brand my feed store carries. Thanks
