Hi Everyone - I have been feeding my chicks (5 weeks old) the unmedicated 20% Chick Starter from TSC (DuMOR) and picked up another bag today.. except when I got home, I realized that the bag I grabbed says Chick on it, but it's24% and says "Complete formula for starting turkey, quail, pheasant and chukar. Designed for starting chicks from 0 to 6 weeks of age. Provides essential nutrients for optimum development. Additional vitamins and minerals are not required. Chick starter 24%."
My chicks will be 6 weeks old on Wednesday, and it's a 50lb bag... should I return it and get the 20%, or would this be okay to feed them for however long it takes 9 chicks to eat 50lbs of this? I know I shouldn't give them layer feed, but I'm not sure how much difference the 4% makes?
Thanks for any advice on this!
