Chick Starter Feed 🐥
This is how we give our chicks a strong start:
1. We start with a high protein feed (this is turkey feed we buy directly from the producer).
2. For the first three days we add the yokes of hard boiled eggs from our own chickens.
🥚 Day one is a 75/25 egg yoke to crumble ratio.
🥚 Day two is a 50/50 yoke to crumble ratio.
🥚 Day three is a 25/75 yoke to crumble ratio.
🥣 Day four and onward is pure crumble.
Apple cider vinegar can be added to the water or the feed. I usually add it to the water, but I forgot this past time, so the liquid you see in this picture is ACV.
Over the past two years, and many hatchings, this is the mix I have come to like the most.
This is for chicks. Ducklings have different nutritional needs, so I will cover how we approach that in a different post.
Happy Hatching from the croft in the far north! 🐣
