Medicated vs. Non-medicated Feed: Which is best for your chicks?
Ultimately, it all comes down to whether your chicks have been vaccinated against coccidiosis, one of the most common diseases chickens face. 

 For chicks vaccinated for coccidiosis: Purina® Start & Grow® Non-Medicated
 For chicks not vaccinated for coccidiosis (or if you are unsure of vaccination status): Purina® Start & Grow® Medicated

We recommend Purina® starter feeds because they include everything your baby chicks need, no need to add anything else.
Contact the Key Feed team and we’ll help you find the right feed for your chicks!
