I feed wet Purina Flock Raiser crumbles to hatchlings. When they are nearly fully feathered they get dry crumbles and when they are full grow they get pellets. They actually have access to pellets while transitioning off crumbles but I don't stop feeding crumbles until they are eating the pellets. They get the same feed from hatchling to adult, the only difference is the texture to make sure they don't choke.
