Chirping
I bought a 50lbs bag of chick starter about 6 months ago for six little chicks—50lbs was the smallest option, next up was 2 TONS! I still have the bag as I occasionally toss a handful or two out for my two chickens and the birds, given I have no idea what to do with it!
That being said, it seems to still be in good condition. No mold, no dampness, and it looks as good as when I bought it. But, I’m still unsure if I can reuse this for chicks in the future? A quick google search says it should be replaced, but only if there’s mold or something visibly off about it. So, here I am, trying to find a definitive answer!
Tl;Dr : 6-month old bag of chick starter—no mold or anything visibly wrong; looks as good as when purchased—is it safe to use for future chicks, or should it be replaced?
