What to feed chicks?

[smudgley]

We have got 4 wellsummers that are now nearly 6 weks old.
They are on chick crumb - when should we change them & what to. Should we put them on growers next & when?

Thanks. x

hi well different breeders change at different ages , some change them on to growers at 6 weeks others 8 weeks . are you going to give them growers mash or pellets ? we change to pellets at 6 weeks but we start them off on a mix of chick crumbs and pellets and gradually reduce the chick crumbs and give more growers pellets . madcat

thankyou Madcat - I have bought some growers pellets today, so we will start to introduce it gradually to their chick crumb,

thanks.

to make your chickens lay good healthy eggs and make them extra healthy you can buy a supplement that use to be called calvesfoot.
