Question by k_erdahl: can broiler chickens be fed duck feed?
this would be for a starter and grower/finisher, its non-medicated. also, if my birds are sprayed for coccidosis can they have prolean in their food? most specilists say no.

  2. Chickens can eat anything. And duck feed is no exception. Heck, chickens can live on cat food for that matter (not that I’d recommend it).

    Prolean is a diet pill. I hope they don’t get prolean.
