I have 70 chicks, 12 are 11 weeks old and 58 are 9 weeks old and they are eating 75 lbs of starter/grower per week
. I have been mixing my feed 2 to 1 with chick scratch, and feeding them table scraps such as salad greens, left over veggies and such. They are going outside eating bugs and grass, too.
Does this seem odd? Sounds like a lot to me, but I am a first timer. My father in law tells me to start mixing in more scratch until they are eventually on all scratch instead of grower. Anyone have any advise???
Thanks. Alicia
