We understand that for a chick to develop into a laying champion it needs to be provided with a high-quality feed during the first 8 weeks after hatching. This will optimise its growth, health and wellbeing during this crucial developmental stage. Feed is a concentrate of high-quality ingredients that meet the nutritional demands of growing chicks. Contains an anticoccidial as an aid in the prevention of coccidiosis. For more information on this condition refer to page 40. Presented as a small crumble which is suitable for small beaks. FEEDING GUIDE Chicks should have continuous access to feed - do not restrict feed consumption. Self-feeders designed for poultry are a good way to ensure feed is continuously available. Hatchlings can be encouraged to start eating feed by scattering feed on newspaper placed around feeders. You can expect young chicks to consume 50 grams of feed per bird each day. Ensure that your chicks have access to clean, fresh water at all times. GIVE THEM THE BEST START IN LIFE WHAT’S IN IT?
