I just have one question for now
My girls are between 4-5 months when do I feed them layer pellets.
We just switched them to scratch grain from grower starter or should they go to finisher first.
They get kale, and green cabbage everyday as they have eaten all the grass in their big run.

They also get pickles and scraps.

Bread as a treat corn eggplant cooked sweet potatoes, peppers green and yellow squash

You should start feeding them layer feed at 18 weeks. You can use up the last of your grower starter by mixed it in with some layer feed until it is gone and they are completely on layer feed. There is a good article on feeding chickens at different ages at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/11/feeding-chickens-at-different-ages.html.
