Best first food for baby chicks?
« Dato: 29 Juni , 2014, 15:10 »
Hi chick people :)

Im incubating eggs and at the moment they are in their 13th day. I wonder what first food to give them? I have seen some chick starter food at my local shop in Hårlev but it cost a bit so I am considering to do it my self.

I was thinking to boil some eggs and give them normal chicken pellet food in some warm water so the pellets get soft.

I wonder what you fine people do? All tips welcome!

I use startfoder mixed with a seed mixture for parakeets and havregryn. 1/3 of each. I use this for the first two weeks and then gradually change the mixture till it's only the startfoder.

I have read that the seeds and havregryn prevents problems with diarrhea plus the havregryn contains the stof (wich I can't remember the name of) that is important for especially the larger breeds when growing.
