Hi all... I have a couple of broody hens so I'm always in and out of chicks. I have a treadle feeder for the layer feed for my grown hens but they of course enjoy the starter/grower feed that the babies get. I know one main difference in the two is that layer feed has higher protein and calcium. I have oyster shells out free feed for the hens if they want it. Will it hurt my hens if they continue to eat a lot of starter/grower?
