MadMitch Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Those of you who have chicks, do you use feed with added ACS? I was going to use the smallholder range and this obviously doesn't have it added but wondered if I should be using the one with it in. Also will the broody just eat the chick crumb while she is with them or do I have to find some way to feed her something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I used chick crumb that was medicated because I didn't know the difference at the time There seems to be strong feelings on both sides of this arguement looking at other forums threads but honestly I am not sure what I will choose next time, I guess a lot of it comes down to price and availibilty in your local area I guess if you keep everything clean then you are at a reduced risk of cocci so the srguement may well be why medicate if you might not need to and also I bet the medications is not very natural Anyway I am rambling and havent really been any help sorry!

feemcg Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've used with and without, current stuff doesn't have it. I panicked a bit once when I read someones chicks all died from coccidosis, but on further reading i don't think it's required unless the chicks are on land that has been used for flocks for generations as the land could be contaminated.
