CHICK STARTERS AND GROWERS

|
|
|
|
To follow is part of my collection of poultry and gamebird feed 'recipes' I have collected over the years.
|
Some are simple, others are quite detailed.
|
Several are designed for specific regions of our country and others are formulated for a specific annual season.
|
I have chosen these formulas with two intentions. The health of the birds and saving money....in that order.
|
I am sharing these with the hope that you too will find one to fit your needs.

|
THE MILK FLUSH
|
for the treatment of
|
coccidiosis
|
4 lbs. of dried milk
|
2 lbs. of corn meal
|
2 lbs. of oatmeal
|
1 lb. of bran
|
|
This should be fed for 3-
5 days with no other feed
except greens.
|
(why this works):
|
the large amount of milk
makes the chicks thirsty
causing them to drink.
The milk sugar will
turn acid in the
stomach and the
added water will
flush out the system.

Starter is fed for the first 6-8 weeks
|
Slowly add the grower and put the chicks
on good grass.
|
|
|
|
|
|
these formulas all worked equally well.
|
It is recommended that fish oil be added to feed where
|
the chicks are indoors and not exposed to any direct sunshine.
