Its my understanding you can put them on a Flock Raiser formula after you finish that bag of feed..check this out for yourself..it was recommended to me starter is for chicks - then flock raiser can be feed until laying and if you choose you can give the adult feed (laying pellets)when they...

No game roo.....I stupidly let a creole beautiful roo to to someone elso because I "heard" it would put a fighting gene in my flock...Pooyie! Knowledge is the answer...can't the chick pick up size, color and some qualities from Hen.....It must be because the wheaton colored little hen looks...
