For four week old chicks outgrowing standard chick feed, shift gradually to coarser grains. Use a mix such as 100 pounds chick feed, 25 pounds whole wheat, and 23 pounds coarse cracked or kafir corn. Over one to two weeks, reverse the proportions and eventually omit chick feed. Do not feed a single grain alone as it disrupts balance and digestion.

He intervenes if a clash starts, often scaring the youngsters into submission and preserving order. This method could work with other breeds too.
