My chicks are 2-3 days shy from 4 weeks old, and I'm about to purchase more feed for them online. What I've been using up to this point is the "Mana Pro Gamebird/Showbird Crumble" which has a minimum of 24% crude protein and it's unmedicated. At 3 weeks I then started adding in wild finch seed into the mix.

Now that they're older, should I be continuing to supply this same food? Or should I get them something else? I also toss in some millet every now and then, along with some crushed oyster shell.

Should I be getting them actual grit? Any suggestions on good food brands?
 
I feed mine 24% unmedicated from hatch to death. I don't mix anything in with the feed. I do give them some 1/2" mealworms occasionally.
The chick grit is what I use, it has a finer grain than regular oyster shell or regular grit for adult birds. I also give them finely chopped kale every couple of days.
