Types of Chicken Feed
We told you earlier in this post that there are different categories of chicken feed. Usually, these feeds are formulated to provide the birds with the right amount of nutrients. Chickens are at different stages of development, and it is important to purchase the right feed for their stage of development. Here are some of the common chicken feed categories:
Starter feed
The starter feed is given to chicks at the youngest level. It is mostly in crumble form so that the chicks can pick them with their beaks easily. This category of feed contains about 20 percent of crude protein to help the birds grow quickly.
Grower feed
This feed is administered from day-old to about 20 weeks. It all depends on what the owner prefers. Most manufacturers formulate grower feed with between 18 and 20 percent of crude protein. This feed helps to save money as you can use it across several ages. Most farmers prefer to use grower feed instead of starter feed.
Layers mash
If you are raising layers, then you should feed your birds with layers mash. This class of feed contains higher crude protein than grower feed. The reason for this is that it is necessary to help the bird to produce eggs.
Broiler feed
This class of feed is used to feed your broilers if you make use of starter feed. As such, you administer broiler feed after your birds have outgrown starter feed. Usually, broiler feed contains between 20 and 22 percent crude protein.
