@Buff Hooligans what feeds do you recommend or the feeds you usually used when feeding your chickens?
is it the same with the the chickens if they are still a chick?

You'll want to use a starter feed for the chicks. I use Blue Seal and have been very happy. Whether your get medicated or un-medicated really depends on you. Also the amount of chicks you have to the space provided. For actually chickens when they start laying you'll want to switch to a layer feed.
