Newly hatched chicks do best if given a product available as Chick starter. This is produced by many name brand companies and can be purchased as medicated or un-medicated food. The grain size is small for little mouths and it has all the extra vitamins a growing chick need to build a strong body and good feathers. The medicine in the medicated feed is a preventative medicine that strengthens the immune system and protects against Marek's disease which is highly contagious.

What do baby chicks eat?
Normally new chicks are given a starter feed which is a finely ground mixture of grains. Chicks often cannot eat the larger sized grains in sufficient quantity for proper nutrition so the mix is ground, moisture added, extruded and dried as a starter/builder feed called a "mash". This food can come with extra vitamins and medication added when requested. Ask for chick starter at any feed & grain store.

What food can you give chicks?
worms and dirt and other bugs also In most cases a chick needs a balanced diet to provide vitamins and minerals needed for healthy growth. A commercial chick starter is best as it is very difficult to make your own balanced feed correctly. Any feed supply store can provide this "mash"called "chick starter". To start the day old chick the fine mash is used and then a courser version of the same mash is added over a few weeks to get them used to the large feed they will eventually be given. Bugs and worms, plants etc. are fine for the chick once it starts exploring the farmyard but they should be fed the proper diet early in the morning before they wander. Just like little children they will eat the best stuff first if you let them and it is not always the best for proper nutrition. Chick starter comes in Medicated (to protect them from certain diseases ) and non medicated varieties (for the organic farmers).
