Frequently Asked Questions

No, this is an unmedicated, medication-free formula. It supports your chicks through clean, dry brooding conditions rather than relying on amprollium to prevent coccidiosis. If your chicks were vaccinated against coccidiosis before arrival, unmedicated is the right choice since medicated feed would interfere with that protection.
Yes, soybean meal is one of the primary ingredients in this formula. If you plan to avoid soy throughout your birds' lives, MPC offers an Organic Soy-Free Grower Feed to transition to once your chicks are ready for the next stage.
This depends on your flock size. Ten chicks eat roughly one pound of starter feed per day, so a 5 lb bag lasts about five days for a flock of ten. A smaller flock of three to four chicks will stretch the same bag to about two weeks. Stock several bags before your chicks arrive so you're not caught short.
Chick starter is best used within 60 days of the manufacture date printed on the bag. Store it in a cool, dry spot and check for clumps or an off smell before each feeding, since vitamins and probiotics in older feed can degrade and affect chick health. The 5 lb size is a practical fit for small flocks since it's easy to use up well within that window.
No, grit is not needed while your chicks are eating finely-milled starter feed exclusively. The fine texture is designed to be easy for young birds to digest without any supplement. Once you start offering treats or whole grains alongside their starter, add a small dish of chick grit so they can break down the coarser food.
Organic chick starter is made from grain grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and contains no artificial preservatives or additives. For flock keepers who want to raise their birds as naturally as possible from day one, it limits chemical exposure during those first weeks of development. This formula is also medication-free, which makes it a good fit whether your chicks are vaccinated or not.
