My chicks are now 8 weeks old and have been outside in their own pen for awhile. We need to mix the babies (6 of them) with our two adults soon for various reasons, and I'm confused about food.
I know I should transition the babies over to grower feed, but can my adults eat the grower feed as well. Basically whatever I feed them they'll both need to eat.
Only one of my adults still lays eggs (the other is the 9 year old matriarch who keeps everyone in line). Can I give her calcium in the form of oyster shell? What if the babies eat it?
I haven't had babies in years. Man, there is so much to re-learn!
