Feeding Maize

Hi Fellow Forum Members

My three chicks are only 6 weeks old and I have occasionally fed them some maize recently  but from reading pages on the forum that this may not be a good choice. Reason I ask is a friend let me have three sacks of maize at the weekend and I hope to feed this to them in addition to the growers. Also thinking of introducing them to crushed oyster shell from about 12 weeks. Any thoughts?

I understood that too much maize is not good and should be fed only occasionally, personally I would stick to the chick feed, with an occasional treat, so your corn will last years I am afraid.
