Starter Feed is a complete protein-rich variety of wet-dry chicken feed specially designed to meet the daily dietary needs of chickpeas. Usually available as a box or plastic container, Starter Feed ensures that chicks get all the vitamins, minerals, and proteins they need from the very beginning of their chick farming. As a dry chicken, it does not contain salt or fat which Chickens often prefer as this can cause skin problems. In general, chickpea can survive on a daily diet of this feed for the first half of their life then transitioning onto grower and adult food.
This feed comes in different flavors with one of the most popular brands is 'Egg Man' which has a sweet and tangy taste, perfect for roasting. There are many different brands available but one of the best-known names is Tillamook which has a variety of different chicken feeds available including Organic, Medium and Strong. Chickens on these feeds can also be fed chickpea flour, guano, and even fish oils. Fish oils are especially recommended for feeding hens as these provide additional calcium which is important as they are unable to produce their own calcium on their own. For hens that are over a year old only, organic feeds will suffice. They are able to get the necessary calcium from the corn, wheat, and rice pellets available with the organic and medium diets.
The best source for starter feed is either buying in bulk from a farm store or online from online pet retailers who offer a wide variety of different pellets and treats for both chickens and hens. There are several different types of pellets available including Whole, Yellow (Beefy), Blue (Bantam), Red (Lamb), and even Brown (ostrich).
