What Should I Feed My Pullets?

At Apple Homestead Farming, we want to make sure the baby chicks have sufficient protein, grains, flax meal, vitamins and minerals intake to provide healthy and strong feather and overall growth. From day 1, we feed them starter crumbles and scratch. We mix these two feeds and offer them to the baby chicks through out the day. In addition to the mixed feeds, we supplement seasonal produce from the market daily.

A note to remember:

All of our baby chicks have been given coccidiosis and marek vaccines, therefore, its very important that you do not give them medicated feed when you take them home. If you feed them medicated feed, the medicated feed will act against the vaccines and negate their protective effects.

Growing your own organic food for the chickens:

Feeding chickens organic feed can be expensive. You can try to grow your own feed, check out this blog here for some ideas.

Enjoy your chickens and stay safe!
