Brooder to nest box on one bag. Start Right is a complete crumble for chicks you plan to keep as layers, built to feed from their first day under the heat lamp through the week the first egg shows up, right around 16 weeks.
Eighteen percent protein with lysine and methionine meets the energy and nutrient needs of chicks you plan to keep as layers. Vitamins A, D and E are in at levels meant for strong growth, and the LifeGuard blend of prebiotics, probiotics, essential oils and enzymes works on digestion and immune function during the stretch when chicks are easiest to set back. All natural, with no animal protein products in the mix. Feed it as the sole ration and keep fresh water in front of them.

How to feed it
Feed as the only ration from hatch to about 16 weeks, when pullets come into lay:
- Feed as the sole ration from hatch to laying age, approximately 16 weeks.
- Maintain a clean, fresh supply of water to the birds at all times.
Good to know
- Crumble sits well in a chick feeder and is easier for small beaks to pick up than pellets.
- Complete feed, so there is no call to add scratch or a supplement alongside it.
Chick season fills the brooder fast, so have a bag on hand before the first birds arrive.
