I have been following all the advise from my feed store, (now I know a no no since I found BYC). I started my 1 week old chicks on;
KRUSE'S CHICK STARTER MASH
As an aid in prevention of coccidiosis where immunity to coccidiosis is not desired.
ACTIVE DRUG INGREDIENT
Amprolium .........................................0.0125%
They said as long as they are eating a mash that they don't need grit, and looked at me like I was crazy when I said oyster shells.
So now my pullets are 18 weeks old and that's all they eat, Kruse's starter mash and water.
I looked at the different Brands of chicken food, and most had really weird ingredients, besides the organic ones.
I only want to do what's best for my girls... Should I change to the organic food? Starter or Layer? Mash or crumbles? Do I need grit and calcium? Should I be adding some sort of electrolytes or vitamins to their water? Is there anything else they should be getting "standard" in their feed, such as BOSS?
I searched a bit here on the boards but didn't see too much regarding these super basic questions... Thanks in advance!
