Yes, it will work. 18/3/5/1 Protein/Fat/Fiber/Calcium. Fine for all your birds.

also, at my local feed store, they may have Payback Organic Pullet Developer Pellets. I know they carry the Payback brand. I have tried their Layer Feed and it worked... would grower pellets be similar to all flock? Or is it different.
Also, another feed I found, that I know my local farm and feed has is this

(I found the bag in the shed (it was empty) and I think I used it for past chicks.) would it work?
I personally wouldn't mix them at this time. If the layer isn't too old, I'd hold onto it and once the chicks are older (like 16-18 weeks or more) then maybe mix in 1/4 of layer to 3/4 starter/all flock/etc should be ok, as some people do like to transition to layer a bit earlier and by mixing it you'd dilute down the calcium a little as well.I still have a bit (Maybe a few pounds of each) of the chick feed and layer feed. I don't want it to go to waste, and the chicks are fully moved out together. Can/should I keep offering both feeds, right next to each other, or should I mix them, or what? The hens feed is Scratch and Peck Organic Layer Feed, and it is mostly seeds with some powder (no pellets) I don't know if the chicks can actually eat it (might be too big) but I could be wrong.
Ok, I will do that, thank you! What should I do with the chick feed?I have never seen grower pellets from Payback. That's something I'd actually be interested in getting, as I prefer pellet feed for less mess.
Payback makes an organic, non medicated hatch-to-hen which is what I raise my chicks on (and feed the rest of the flock as well), all the way until they begin laying.

I guess I made a mistake, oops! Its called Organic Pullet Developer Pellet. Not sure if thats the same as grower.I have never seen grower pellets from Payback. That's something I'd actually be interested in getting, as I prefer pellet feed for less mess.

Thanks!You can feed the chick feed mixed in with the grower/all flock until it's gone, as that's fine for the adults to eat as well.

I think their version of all flock is called all purpose poultry . I’ve used it, I was pleased with it and it was typically weeks fresher than the Purina Flock Raiser. Then the pandemic hit and there were issues so I’ve been using Flock Raiser. @Kiki made a spreadsheet of poultry feeds and their nutrient profiles. You might enjoy looking at that.also, at my local feed store, they may have Payback Organic Pullet Developer Pellets. I know they carry the Payback brand.
