We highly recommend feeding your chicks Farm to Flock® 20% Starter continuously from hatch to 4-6 weeks, then switch to Farm to Flock® 18% Grower. However, chicks are different sizes, so the smaller chick, the smaller the food they can usually eat. So if you feel the seeds are too large for them, stick with the Farm to Flock® 20% Starter until you think they are big enough.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death.
