Chick starter is just slightly higher in protein than normal scratch (18% to 21 %). This protein comes from various sources, often from Soy bean but sometimes from ground animal protein.
Chick starter is also often formulated in a smaller size to make it easier for the small beaks to handle. Various grains like corn, wheat, barley and oats make up the bulk of the formula.
