Reach for this bag if your chicks were not vaccinated for coccidiosis, or if you bought them without knowing their vaccination status; that covers most straight-run chicks from a feed store bin. Underneath the medication it is the same 18% protein Chick Strong ration as the non-medicated version, complete and balanced from day one to laying age. Amprolium is not an antibiotic and is not affected by the Veterinary Feed Directive, so no vet paperwork is involved. If your chicks did come home vaccinated, buy the non-medicated bag instead — we stock both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedicated with amprolium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aid in the prevention of coccidiosis in chicks whose immunity has not been established by vaccination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo VFD required:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amprolium is not an antibiotic and falls outside the Veterinary Feed Directive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18% protein with lysine and methionine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Support muscle and skeletal development through the fastest-growing weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChick Strong System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deliver the balanced combination of nutrients chicks need to grow at a proper pace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrebiotics and probiotics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Support digestive and immune health from the first day in the brooder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdded marigold extract:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bring out brightly colored beaks and bright plumage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy-feeding crumbles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve a form small birds handle from hatch with no mixing or sorting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Directions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed Purina Start \u0026amp; Grow 18% Medicated continuously as the sole ration from day one until the onset of egg production, then switch to a Purina layer feed such as Layena, transitioning gradually rather than all at once.
