My easter eggers are on their eighth or ninth week outside in their chicken tractor, im still feeding them the medicated starter/grwing feed..should I just be feeding them crumble or crumble for laying? I dont want to feed them pellets yet even though they love eating grasshoppers! ! ??? Help thanks for any help
 
How old are they?

My chicks are 5.5 weeks old and I just finished up my initial bag (20#) of medicated starter feed. I bought regular starter/grower in a 10# bag figuring by the time they finish it (3 chicks), they will be outside full time and move on to pellets. I also have 3 year old hens. Crumble is soooooo wasted on bigger chickens. Pellets only!
 
I think its a personal decision how long to feed that starter. I had 17 i fed one bag of medicated starter (which lasted a short time)then switched them to the grower feed I wanted them on.
