Pheasant.com Blog | Strange incident with feed

On January 9, 2010 in General by spope

We have been investigating different diets and formulations of feed for our day old chicks. We had a hatch of pedigreed white chicks this past week and we started the chicks on a new feed formulation. After a few days, Troy (our brooder manager) was alarmed as the chicks simply were not eating the new feed diet. So Troy put our previous feed formulation crumbles onto flats and the chicks swarmed the feed. So just a note as a reminder to everyone to always observe your chicks. Thank goodness Troy was paying such close attention.
