Can I give growers pellets to an older flock...???????

[JeanGenie]

Hi all

I have inherited an older flock of RIR's... I dont have the room for a second coop but already have some younger birds established. The younger ones are around the 12 weeks old and are being fed growers feed amongst other things as well. Now the older ones are on layers and corn.

My question is can I still allow the older girls to eat the growers and the younger ones will no doubt get at the mash and corn. So will it affect the birds or should I do my best to feed then seperately...

I dont have two coops so it may be difficult to feed them away from each other, does anyone have any ideas please...

Thanks

Ive got two to three year old hens on growers and gamebird feed, they will be fine. Just add some oyster shells in their run for them to pick when they need it.
