Grower/finisher for new chicks?

[Icedangel11]

I recently had some young chicks hatch out. It'll be until tomorrow until I can get to the store to buy some starter food. Will eating grower/finisher hurt them? I've read some places that too much calcium can kill baby chickens. Will one or two days hurt them?

Grower/finisher usually has lower protein, but not a lot higher calcium than Starter (Layer has a lot more calcium), it shouldn't hurt them for a few days... you could supplement them with some hardboiled egg yolk etc if you want ...

This is the stuff they should.

But they are also hen raised free range, so they'll be eating bugs and stuff, too. So I don't think it'll hurt them..
