No one in my town sells chic starter...not even the guy that sold chicks last yr. My babies are going to be here week of march 4th. Did I mention my town is on an island in AK. Walmart is our best and now only feed source. They just sold out of grower/layer feed. Oh and I could order a 5lb bag online then pay $85 shipping and pray it gets here before the chicks but im not a gambler. Help recipes and or someone near an actual feed store that could ship me some in a flat rate box. Any Help or advice is greatly appreciated.
 
I am not sure if this will help or not, but here is a site for how to make your own feed http://www.lionsgrip.com/recipes.html. I know when I have run out of feed, I give them oatmeal with extra fruit. I am not sure about new chicks though. You would have make it with specials vitamins or extra something. I am sure the early frontiers did not have chick starter...good Luck
 
I have a 5lb bag of medicated starter that I have no use for. If you are interested in reimbursing actual shipping cost (paypal?), I would be happy to send off a flat rate priority box for you on Monday, that would get to you well before your chicks. (Depending on what fits, i could pick up some more starter to fill the box. )

Just let me know if you are interested - I've lived "rural" so can understand your frustration.
