                                 CHF Organic Chick Starter Grower Mash is a broad spectrum ration
                                 specially formulated for chicks, pullets and meat birds. Formulated
                                 using certified organic grains and protein meals; the CHF Organic Chick
                                 Starter Grower Mash is free from all forms of medications that may be
                                 found in other starter feeds.
                                 APPLICATION

                                 LAYING HENS
                                 Unlike other starter feeds, the uniquely diverse nature of this ration
                                 negates the need to change diets from a starter to a grower (pullet
                                 grower) part way through the growing cycle. This therefore avoids
                                 waste and the expense of a separate feed, as it can be fed to day old
                                 chicks through to point of lay hens (Approx. 18-20 weeks) or slaughter
                                 for broilers.  (Approx. 10 - 12 weeks)It is important to ensure your
                                 chicks have free access to feed and water and are protected from any
                                 harsh environmental conditions.  For very young birds it is necessary to
                                 keep them warm with a specialised heater lamp (or light), especially
                                 during the colder months. For laying pullets it is also advisable to begin
                                 blending the CHF Organic Chick Starter Grower Mash with your
                                 preferred CHF Layer ration at 16 weeks of age. This will provide the
                                 extra calcium and nutrients to assist with egg production.

                                 MEAT BIRDS
                                 The CHF Organic Chick Starter Grower Mash is equally adaptable when
                                 feeding meat birds, once again avoiding the need to swap to a grower
                                 ration during the growth cycle; allowing the same feed to be fed until
                                 slaughter. (Approx. 12 weeks).
