Serious question, why do so many of you think medicated starter feed is a scam?
I've been keeping chickens for about 4 years now, ever since I moved to a little place outside Austin. Last spring I lost two chicks to coccidiosis because I listened to a forum post saying medicated feed was a waste of money. Why are people so quick to ditch something that's been working for decades?

Yeah exactly! @margaretshah nailed it - it's like people who skip changing their oil because "my buddy hasn't done his in 20,000 miles and he's fine" until their engine seizes. We just love ignoring cheap insurance until something expensive breaks.

Read a poultry vet say medicated feed is basically insurance against something you can't see coming.
