Right food?

[Leanimal]

I got my baby chicks today (YAY!!) but I thought he was going to give me a 50lb bag of medicated chick starter, but when I got home the bag says Albers Poultry Feed. Is that ok!? Or should I go back and get "chick starter"? There is a picture of a chick on it....

Thanks,
Leanne

Read the tag on the feed with the guaranteed analysis and ingredients. What is the protein % and calcium %.

If the protein is 18 or more and the calcium is closer to 1 rather than 4, you're ok.

Never mind. I was mistaken. There was a tag I missed on the bottom of the bag that says in bold letters CHICK STARTER!! D'oh!! Thanks for your reply!!

The tag is on the opposite end from the one that opens easily so it's on the bottom if open.
