I feed medicated to avoid cocidosis (sp?) But Im not raising organic though. Not sure if you are. My chicks are 13 days old

I would use medicated until 8 weeks and then switch to either non-medicated or layer/grower.

Oh we only have 4 chickens so one bag last is for a bit

Non medicated starter/grower 20% protein. I provide it fermented and dry, for the life of my chickens and never change to layer. I have oyster shell in a separate container for my laying hens.

I used non-medicated because I was raising mine on organic feed. I did end up having to treat for cocci later on.
