Switching chick starter to flock raiser for free-ranging chicks

[vnploveschickens]

Hello, Just wondering if it would be ok to let my 2 - 5 week old chicks to start flock raiser feed that my mixed flock eat. My experienced broody hen, Luna, has them out and about with her since they were about 5 days old. Should I continue with chick starter?

Thanks in advance.

I always used something like 2x4 wire with the chicks food behind it---only they can get to it and fed them chick feed. But They should be able to eat the flock raiser.

They'll be fine on flock raiser. It's all I feed my flock from the day they hatch.

I too only feed Flock Raiser to everyone, with separate oyster shell. If I needed to feed chicks amprolium medicated starter, that would be different. Mary
