Forgive the question, as I assume I've missed the answer in an obvious location, but I don't have much computer time and need an answer. I have four, six week old chicks that I've been giving medicated chick feed to. All the older hens are gobbling it up instead of their own food, so today I asked my husband to get us more chick crumble and that I'd feed it to everyone until the chicks get old enough to eat the Layena. Anyway...hubby thought "chick" meant short for chickens, not actual baby "chick", so he bought Layena crumbles....NOT baby chick feed. The question to you all is: Do we need to go tomorrow to get baby chick (unmedicated) crumbles since I'm assuming it has more of the stuff they need to grow (calories, vitamins, etc.), or are we o.k. with the Layena adult crumble. Thank you for your advice on this! If you can even just link me to the section to find this info I'd be greatly grateful.
