Chickens and starter feed?

[RESQME49]

I just got some chicks from Tractor Supply and they are being raised by our broody mama. I have them in our main coop as our mama bird gets anxiety when we put her elsewhere and wont look after the chicks. I put up partitions in the coop to keep the chicks from getting out but some of the older birds still manage to get in and eat some of their starter/grower feed. Its the Dumor starter/grower (linked below). Im not sure if its medicated. Does not say. Is this ok for the bigger birds to get into? Im still trying to get it totally separated, but want to make sure its safe for the big layers and us eating their eggs in the meantime.

Its totally fine, in fact, I feed a starter when I cant find All Flock. Just provide oyster shells or egg shells on the side.

My three week old babies are already into the all flock pellets for the big girls, and the adults gorge on the starter feed for the babies !
