I think so. I do remember them saying switch at 16 weeks tho, not 18.Well, maybe they were anticipating your bag laying longer.
My pullets did go through it pretty fast before I starting free ranging them.

Most people switch at 16, I think it's too early.I think so. I do remember them saying switch at 16 weeks tho, not 18.

Most chicken feed (All Flock, etc), has lots of soy in them. I can't eat eggs from chickens that have been fed soy... store bought or otherwise. I am allergic to soy so eating soy fed chicken eggs make me sick. Because of this, I need to feed my chickens organic soy-free feed (I like the idea it's organic also).I use All Flock (20% protein) with oyster shell available on the side. Layer feed is low protein, usually 16%, and I feel better giving them higher protein.
I will check out Chewy but I doubt they have organic soy-free feed.You can certainly stay with chick/grower feed as well, won’t hurt them! I feed it to my girls when they molt, but All Flock is cheaper than chick feed here.
Did you all know Chewy.com sells some brands of chicken feed? Was a whole new day when I figured that out!
Chick or meat bird feed is $22 vs all flock/raiser at $27. My neighbor gets chewy, I would except I buy it in large amounts.
I purchase Kalmbach, I believe they did have the organic, no idea about the soy-free though.I will check out Chewy but I doubt they have organic soy-free feed.

I am surprised! Chewy has the layer feed I buy for my hens. The chick feed only comes in a 10# bag tho and is waaay too expensive. Actually, both are too expensive. The layer feed is $5-$6 more for a 40# bag, depending if I do auto-ship, than what I pay at the feed store just down the road.I purchase Kalmbach, I believe they did have the organic, no idea about the soy-free though.
