CAN LAYING HENS EAT CHICK FEED

[irf1983]

I'm considering getting a 1 yr old silkie hen to add to my six 3 month old pullets. Firstly, how long should I quarantine the new bird and at what distance. And when I do introduce them, would the silkie be ok with the chick feed or does it need a laying formula? Thanks.

Yes, I would just supply some extra oyster shells for the hen every once in awhile.

From what I've read on here, you want to quarantine for 30 days and as far away as you can get them!
