about chicken starter, I have read recently on a lovebird forum of a breeder that feeds them to his lovebirds and apparently he has better breeding results.
But... I personally have concerns about this.
So... we are now in this rush/fashion of organics/traditional raised chicken, that are only fed cereal grains of ecologic production... and meat is indeed different.
Then chicken starter also has certain antibiotics/chemicals and I wonder about the long term side effects of them.
I believe a natural diet, for men and beast, is much better than processed stuff. But that's just my opinion.
About the mealworms, I think along the same lines, better feed them a bit of leftover bread, seed shells, a leaf of leftover greens, etc... natural stuff.
Natural, and also cheaper (those are leftovers)

I use the Chicken Starter as the poultry industry is very well researched.
The same reason i give Vitamins. It is just part of covering all bases for me.
hi everyone
healthy varied diet veg and fruit and protein frm chicken, marrow and seeds dry and sprouted calcium etc ..... question is why the need for extra vitamins and pellets you have more chance of making your kak ill by overdosing on the good stuff.
moderation is the key its the same with healthy stuff as it is with unhealthy.
pellets and vitamins are designed for people/animals which cant get them naturally i used to do seasonal work at a chicken farm when i left school and these animals are mass farmed and far frm getting what they need diet wise.
the pellets are good and contain most of what the poultry needs same goes with the vitamins.
if your bird doesn't get the diet it should then yes these supplements could be the answer but personnally i believe its better the bird gets it frm natural sources ... if your kak does get the proper diet then using these supplements can do your kak more bad than good.
there is a post called "boo with the bad eyes" which is a good read with more info. _________________ thanks brucie.....

I use chick starter and vitamins as a sprinkle on top of veg and sprouted seed mix. Worming every 3 months to me is essential. I find it makes sense to me as i do it. Saying that i would never feed pellets!
