Oh. I've never bought medicated. It hasn't been necessary as we apparently don't have a huge cocci problem. I know the signs and where to get Corid quickly if I need to.
Yeah, maybe it would be better to not get medicated so they can build an immunity to it? I think I got non medicated last time and my chicks all grew up perfectly fine and healthy. But they were also inside until 8 weeks and I got them dirt from outside. These ones I’m planning on raising outside. In the coop at first and then in the run when they get big enough. So maybe they will be able to build enough immunity from being outside. I think it says in the bag the medicated is if you don’t want them to have immunity/don’t care about it. Which is not what I want. So idk. Maybe I’ll jut get a small bag of medicated and a big bag of non medicated. I checked the dates on the kind I usually get and they are all really old so I’m getting Purina.
