OK, I am confused. If you feed layer formula before age 16-18 weeks it is too much calcium and could be harmful. If you feed starter/finisher to older laying hens it doesn't have enough calcium. I have a separate bowl of oyster shells. I have 6 pullets 13 weeks old. They are inside the same run with the other girls but are in a separated fenced off area with their own house, waterer and food. The older girls are let out in the morning to free range, the young ones are not. I want to be able to let the chicks out but as long as they have to have different food can't do that. Also, at what point do I put them all together in the same coop?
