I have 6 week old chicks in a temporary run during the day so. Not only so they can get out of the brooder during the day, but so the hens can get used to seeing them in "their" yard. Yesterday I noticed the chicks flinging some of the medicated feed (while scratching) out of the run. The hens were gobbling it up as fast as they could. No matter how hard I try they seem to find a way to get enough feed out of the feeder to make a mess and kick it out of the run.
Do I need to toss the eggs? I'm sure they are getting tiny amounts of medicated crumbles but they are getting some. I figure they have about 2 months left of the medicated feed. I hate to just toss it, or take them off too soon for that matter. But I'd hate to toss the eggs too
