My 17 week old chickens keep sneaking some of my older chickens layer feed. I don't know how much they have eaten but I have caught them several times. They free range all day with the older birds so I don't think they are getting a lot of their food. They have not started to lay yet and I know at 18 weeks you can start them on layer feed. So should I not worry about it at this point or try and stop it...Thanks
