Silkie diet

[shober]

I’ve read that silkies must have non-medicated feed and vitamins in the water. Is this true? Can they handle medicated chicken feed? I’ve got chicks that are 2 weeks old and on the non-medicated with the vitamin water. They are thriving.

I have never heard that silkies can't have medicated feed and vitamins are just a plus. Given a good diet vitamins are not needed on a regular basis. I will be interested in what other members have to say on this.
