A single formula that carries a chick from hatching through to weaning, with the mixing ratio changed rather than the product. Alongside the nutrition it includes a Protexin probiotic, a Natuzyme multi-enzyme and an Actigen prebiotic — all aimed at the gut, which is where hand-rearing usually goes wrong.
Hand-rearing is demanding and unforgiving. If you have a chick and no experience, get advice from a vet or an experienced breeder before you start, not after.

Feeding
Mix the powder with pre-boiled water at about 50 degrees, following the stage chart printed on the pack. Let it stand a minute to absorb, remix, and feed at 38–40 degrees with a spoon, syringe or crop tube.
Feed until the crop is comfortably full — roughly 10% of body weight per feed. Let the crop empty completely at least once a day with an overnight fast. Prepare fresh at every meal and clean utensils thoroughly between feeds.
What to expect
Chicks should gain 5–15% of body weight per day until they are well feathered. A chick that is not gaining needs help, not more food.
