Feeding peachicks the right diet is crucial for their health, growth and well-being. From hatching through to around 14 weeks, little peachicks rely entirely on specialised feed—so it’s important not to offer chicken chick crumb or additional feed items during this period. These feeds simply don’t provide the right balance of nutrients to support their rapid development and their digestive system takes 14 weeks to complete development..

At Peacocks UK, the feeding journey for peachicks follows a clear progression: they start on Superfine Game Chick Crumb immediately post-hatch, then move to Game Chick Crumb at around two to three weeks. From approximately four to five weeks, they transition to Game Grower One mini pellets, before finally moving on to Game Grower Two at about two months plus. All Game Grower Pellets are supplied with AVATEC, which is an excellent option for after the initial crumb stage as it protects against coccidiosis.

These feeds are intentionally formulated to provide high levels of protein and essential nutrients uniquely tailored to peachicks—far more appropriate than standard poultry crumb or mixed corn, which lack sufficient protein and can compromise both health and development, leading to poor health, malnutrition and even death.
