Quick Feed Question....

[MrsKemmerlin]

So I know that it is better to get chicks that are vaccinated, and mine will be - but should I still have them on medicated feed for the first six weeks? Or would that be too much?

Thanks in advance!

You'll get different opinions on this, of course, but I put all of my new chicks on medicated starter for 8 weeks-even if they have been vaccinated.

I read they were supposed to be on starter from weeks one to six, grower from weeks seven to twenty and layer from week twenty-one and on... is this incorrect?

The instructions are not to feed them medicated feed if they are vaccinated for cocci. Not sure why. If they are vaccinated for Marek's or other things, no problem.
