What to feed baby chicks | Homemade chick starter

You DON’T need to buy chick starter! Hatching and raising chicks doesn’t have to cost a fortune. I feel like store bought chick starter is a waste of money. As long as you have a good quality chicken food, you can then simply blend some up into fine sand-like texture to feed your freshly hatched chicks 🐥.
The scratch I’m using in this video is 8% protein.
This is not enough protein , newly hatched chicks ages 0-10 weeks should be fed chick starter with 10%-20% protein. I use this 8% feed because I supplement my chicks almost daily with kitchen scraps like cooked leftover chicken & eggs. My kids often dig up earthworms to feed them as well. So therefore, I know my chicks are eating enough protein. If you don’t supplement like me, just use a Fred with higher protein content. Simple.
