that is the question. I went to town yesterday to get some grower for my 3 month old chicks - the power was out all over and everything was closed (bummer). Can I feed the 3 month old chicks medicated starter again until I can get back into town or would that mess up their immune systems?

I feed it mixed with my grain ration and some grit. Dont think it would hurt them.

I've feed medicated starter/grower until POL with no problems. Now I do the same as chickeesmom and add grain ration to my birds feed along with free-ration grit.

Thanks Chickeesmom and Flicker - I will have to feed them the medicated starter until Tues. and they seem fine so far. They have been off the medicated feed for 3 weeks and on grower so I was worried it would make them sick to put them back on medicated for a short period.
