botulism?

Hope you can get some chick starter soon. As @rebrascora mentioned, you can use layer feed for a couple of days. You can also use grower or flock raiser instead of chick starter.

NO layer feed. Flock feed if you can't get chick. Layer feed will cause gout, it has too much calcium. Much of my flock is slowly dying, one by one, because of them getting layer feed as babies. I ranged them with my others and they ate the layer food. I didn't think anything of it. I am paying for that. I may have a cure for it now but it's HORRIBLE.
