You do realize that the OP is in Canada? She (I hope) might not have Manna Pro available, I know I can't get it here and I'm in KY!!

Are you able to get Purina feeds? They make one called Flock Raiser that is 20% protein and should be non-medicated. I don't think the medicated feed is good for them. It doesn't matter what it's medicated with, it's just that they are too small for the way it's mixed and it builds up in their systems.

If you can't get Purina feeds, get a chicken grower or layer feed. You can always feed meal worms or boiled eggs to increase their protein intake.

If she has a TSC she should be able o get it. It is all regional, one person may have it the next may not. There has to be some type of suitable feed there even if she has to order it. I wouldn't put them on Flock raiser, but that's just me.

I looked at the Mana Pro website and I don't think they are in Canada, they didn't have any stores here. The only unmedicated feed I found was duck/goose starter, the guy at the feed store didn't even think there was a such thing as unmedicated chick starter unless you made it yourself. I can feed the duck/goose starter and mealworms

It is all regional. I asked my store for un-medicated purina. I even gave them a product number. They said it didn't exhist and that I was some crazy person for depriving my birds of medication. Lets just say I gave him a piece of my mind and some other things I'm not going to mention...

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

lol, I know you can get unmedicated feed, they just dont carry it.

 

[Robo]

Yep, do you have a TSC around there?

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

I'm not sure... I'll have to check into that. In the meantime should I switch to duck/goose feed with mealworms?

 

[Robo]

Yes, you can give them boiled eggs too.

I talked to my dad and we're not really sure what a TSC is...
