Raising healthy baby chicks starts with the right nutrition. In this post, we’ll show you how to make a simple, affordable, and highly nutritious feed mix for chicks aged 1 to 7 days old. This homemade mix not only supports early growth but also helps boost your chicks’ immune systems naturally.

🐣 Why This Super Mix Works

Baby chicks need gentle but nutrient-rich food in their first week. Eggs are a natural source of vitamins A, D, and E, which help strengthen their immunity. Combined with pellets and a little healthy fat, this mix supports digestion, growth, and energy.

✅ Ingredients:

• 1 fresh egg

• 500 grams (half a kilogram) of chicken starter pellets

• 1 tablespoon of pig fat (or a natural fat source you prefer)

🥣 Preparation Steps:

1. Mix Ingredients
Crack one egg into a bowl and mix it well with the chicken pellets. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

2. Optional Sun Step
Let the mixture sit under the sun for about 15 minutes. This helps soften the pellets and improve texture, but it’s optional.

3. Lightly Fry the Mix
Heat a pan and add one spoon of pig fat. Add your mixture and gently stir-fry it. Do not overcook—just heat enough until the egg is cooked and the mix looks dry.

4. Grind (If Needed)
Once cooled, you can grind the mix to your desired texture. This is especially useful for very young chicks with small beaks.

🐥 Feeding Guide:

• Feed Frequency: 3 to 5 times a day

• Feeding Tip: Don’t give them 24-hour access to food. Controlled feeding helps avoid overeating.

• Water: Provide clean water at all times, 24 hours a day.

🌿 Bonus Benefits:

• Eggs provide natural immunity boosters

• Pig fat gives energy and improves feed texture

• Pellets ensure balanced protein and nutrition

📌 Final Tip:

Observe your chicks. Healthy ones will be active, alert, and peeping cheerfully. Adjust feeding amounts based on their activity level and growth.
