One of my reasons for raising my own chickens is to have chemical fee eggs. Now I read this on this site:
Chicks start out with food called "crumbles". It is specially formulated for their dietary needs; it comes both medicated or not. We know people that use either kind. If you don't use medicated feed, you run the risk that Coccidiosis will infect and wipe out as much as 90% of your chicks. If you choose non-medicated feed, pay more attention to cleanliness.
Do you medicate your chicks? If so, why? If not, why?
