Can I feed Wild Bird Food to get them to 20 Weeks???

you can also get a game bird feed bag, it will be enough and does not have medication in it and you can mix with layer feed when needed.

I use medicated Starter/Grower I feed it to the birds until I get my first egg then I switch over to Layer. If I have any Starter/Grower or Grower left over when I get my first egg, I mix in the leftover feed with the Layer feed. I have never had any problems. The amprollium in the starter helps in the chicks development in their resistance to cocci. It is sulfa based. There is only a problem eating the eggs layed by the birds that have had the medicated feed when they start to lay if you have any alergies to Sulfa.

whew ! had me worried , all of my flock is in the same coop , free ranged so I thought much easier to just feed starter fed for them all , but the feed store gave me medicated , didnt think twice of it and Ive been feeding these eggs to my family . sure its ok ? no food allergies here
