8Kg Bucket of Chick Crumb, this is the perfect chick feed for your chicks after they leave your incubators.

How to feed chicks :

After the chick is hatched, it is best to leave it to dry in the incubator for 24-36 hours (WITHOUT feed and water), then move the chick to the Brooding equipment.

For about 6 weeks Chick Crumb should be fed to the baby chicks as their chick feeding routine, and can be fed on a free access basis. Then you should move on to Growers Pellets from 6 to 16/17weeks of age.

In the week before changing to Poultry Growers Pellets, it is preferable to mix the chick crumbs and the growers pellets to ensure a gradual changeover.

May also be fed to ducks or geese in an emergency (i.e. when Goose/Duck Starter Crumbs are unavailable) though in general you should be very careful about feeding chick crumbs to ducks as some companies products contain an anti-coccidiostat which can be harmful to them.

After the chicken reaches 16/17 weeks it should be moved on to Layers Pellets.

At this time it is good to add Mixed Corn to the chicken feed as a treat.
