Review of Purina® Start & Grow® Medicated
The chicks loved it!
I started out my 4 day old chicks on Purina Start and Grow and have continued using it now into their third month of growth. I've noticed they are happy, healthy birds with what I feel will be a good weight heading into the winter months. I can't wait for them to get old enough to start laying!
