Feeding Directions:
Homestead® Chick Starter
Feed continuously as sole ration from 1 day of age
until the 5th week of age. Use about 5.5 pounds per
chick over the 5 weeks. Change to Homestead Chick
Grower during the fifth week.
Homestead® Chick Grower
Feed as sole ration beginning the 6th week and
continue until market age.
Feeding Tips:
- Water - Poultry should have access to clean, fresh water at all times. When starting day-old birds or after moving or transporting birds, give access to water before putting feed in the feeders.
- Grit - When birds have access to coarse litter or whole grains, an insoluble grit should be fed. Limit intake of grit to 1 pound per 100 pounds of feed or 2 pounds per 100 birds per week. Grit can be blended with their regular ration or offered free choice in a separate feeder.
- Do not allow feeders to run empty or stale feed to accumulate.
- Never feed any feedstuffs that are moldy, musty or suspect in any way.
Temperature and Ventilation
The optimum temperature range for birds over 4
weeks of age is 65°-75° F. As temperature gets
above or below this range, growth rate can suffer. To
control temperature, ammonia, humidity, dust,
disease and litter condition, fresh air movement is
essential. Approximately 5 to 10 times as much
ventilation is needed in warm tempertures conditions
as in cold conditions.
Premix Directions
For a 23% Broiler Ration, mix according to the following table and feed the mixed feed as the sole ration.
| 1075 lbs. | Corn |
| 800 lbs. | SBM. 48% |
| 125 lbs. | Homestead® Poultry Premix |
| 2000 lbs | TOTAL |
A fresh source of drinking water is also necessary.
