medicated or not medicated?

[Chickens? WOW]

Everyone either says go with the medicated feed, or don't use it. I will have only about 7 golden comet sexlinked pullets. I will eat some of the eggs and sell them to nighbors. I just want my chicks to be healthy, I don't care if the eggs aren't 100% natural. Wich is better for healthy chicks?

Go with medicated if you havn't got your chicks vacinated for cocci. It couldn't do any harm, so why not? My chicks are over 4 weeks and are very healthy and playful.

Most of the US needs it... There are some places where it is not needed but here you can expect 90+% losses without it.

Keep them on it till they have been exposed to the ground for at least a month.

I've never fed medicated feed.
