Do not keep chicks on layer feed and do not put laying hens on chick crumbles: the calcium levels are set for different stages, and getting it the wrong way round causes real problems in both directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable at all times in a chick feeder, with clean water alongside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep it dry - damp crumbles spoil quickly and go mouldy in a warm brooder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd insoluble grit once birds start on anything other than crumbles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/peters\"\u003ePeters\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peters","offers":[{"title":"4kg","offer_id":56142456095042,"sku":"PETERS039","price":15.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6676\/0120\/files\/PPCC4.jpg?v=1789575202","url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/products\/peters-chick-crumbles","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
