Hello all,
This is my first time raising baby chicks (we have seven Buff Orpington hens in the brooder), and the significant other and I have decided to feed them medicated starter (I know there is much debate about medicated starter, but we live in Tulsa, OK, which is pretty hot and humid this time of year, and we don't want to risk it). However, we followed the guidelines from the hatchery (Cackle) upon first receiving our chicks and gave them nonmedicated feed for the first couple of days. Though we bought the smallest bag of nonmedicated feed available, it's still a pretty good sized bag. I also have some powdered Corid on hand (just in case of an outbreak). I was wondering if there is a way to mix the powdered corid with the nonmedicated feed so the feed doesn't go to waste. The instruction on the corid just say to put it in the water. I could just do that, I suppose, but I was just curious if mixing the powder with the feed would be an option. Thanks for the help!
