I've heard the rickets diet usually has a protein boost in it also - maybe a spoon of catfood added if it suits the needs. |

The cat food needs to be beef doesn't it |

Can't see why it needs to be - but the chooks do seem to like it better. |

Not likely to affect them at that age, are you feeding them chick starter? |

Is it ok to give chooks hard boiled eggs as a precaution to help prevent rickets sort of like a vaccine? |

Cooked eggs are good for chickens, especially the yolks. They are full of vitamins. I scramble my excess eggs for my growing birds & they love it. Rickets is caused by a deficiency of vitamin D3, calcium or phosphorus, or an inability to absorb nutrients for some reason. Feeding them good tucker is different from a vaccine though. Using a vaccine is a way of helping them acquire immunity to a disease. |
