Tweety Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 My chicks are now coming up to 16 weeks of age, and I have just run out of chick Flint grit. Will it be ok to give them the mixed grit I give my others, or should I keep them on the chick grit until they start laying? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Its a bit borderline, I personally wouldnt but them am paranoid about excess calcium in youngstock if they freerange I would withhold it for a few weeks as they should be ok with what they can pick up free ranging To be honest it would probably be fine though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks Redwing. I think I will play safe and get some more chick grit - no point in taking any risks for the sake of a few pounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
