Help on chicken feed

[ChickenDude12345]

So I have bought my chicken feed from blue seal since is the closest place. I fed my chicks medicated starter food from three days to six weeks old. My pet sitter then bought multi flock chicken feed which is essentially a starter to. They are going to be seven weeks old. When they are eight weeks old I plan to switch them to a grower feed. Apple seal the grow and show feed has 15% protein. That seems really low. What should I do?

Leave them on the multi flock for life and put out oyster shell in separate containers at around 18 weeks.

The multi flock has 22% proteins is that too high for adult chickens when they are that age?

Cut it with the grower. 50/50. That will net you 18.5% protein which is a good percentage for the full life of a chicken.

Depending on flock size, it may be difficult to use two bags in a timely manner. "I" would look at other brands that offer an all flock or starter 18-20%.

Best practice: Buy bags less than one month old and use within two.

Ok I was looking at Purina flock raiser or something made by them. It sucks tho that the blue seal brand doesn’t have good grower feed which I could buy not online but in store. But whatever
