    Feed advice for 8-10 week old pullets

    I’m getting 14 pullets in two weeks and am wondering what to feed them. They’ll range in age from 8-12 weeks old. I’ve heard to keep feeding chick feed (not layer), but what kind and for how long? Thanks

    Is this normal? Heard it’s called smut?

    Wasn’t exactly sure where to put this but I’ve seen this on another one of my buff orpington pullets but on that one’s tail feathers. The one pictured is on the wing. I think it’s what people refer to as smut but wanted another opinion(s)

    Is this normal?

    So I have some old laying hens and I just moved my 8 month old pullets in their coop not long ago. All the old ones are hunched up and the younger ones all are normal + energetic. Does anyone know what the issue may be with the older ones?
