How to Feed

Feed ad lib (free access) as the sole ration from hatching to 6–8 weeks of age. In the week before switching to Poultry Grower Pellets, mix the crumbs and pellets together to ensure a gradual, stress-free changeover. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times.

Important Note on Waterfowl

In an emergency, these crumbs can be fed to ducks or geese, but this should be done with caution as some products contain an anti-coccidiostat which can be harmful to waterfowl. For ducklings and goslings, use a specialist waterfowl starter feed.
