I am new to BYC and when I bought supplies for my day old chicks (got it before they arrived so I was prepared) I purchased DuMOR Poultry 24% Starter Feed. I thought I had read the back of the bag correctly but realized tonight that I didn't. This feed is recommended for game birds such as turkey and quail. I have been feeding this to the chicks for two weeks now. How bad is it for them? Do I need to stop feeding it to them right away or will it be alright to continue with this feed considering I still have half a bag left. Apparently, the recommended feed for chicks is the 20% starter.
on another note...I was going to start added grit to their diet now that they are two weeks old. Is that alright or do I need to wait?
