As long as your other birds are on Flock Raiser or All Flock. Young pullets under 18 weeks should not have layer feed.

Layer food? That isn't good for their kidneys if they aren't laying yet. A little bit shouldn't hurt, but you probably want to switch to an "all flock" food and offer oyster shell on the side for the layers.

Ok I was thinking the same thing I’m not sure how old she is though because I bought her yesterday they said she is 10 weeks old but she looks older and a little bit like a boy I’ll show you pictures can you tell me what gender and how old you think she is

Not a silkie expert, but, as long as that bird isn't laying, boy or girl, it should be on non-layer food. Good luck!

Are they allowed corn and wheat?

Are they allowed corn and wheat?

Yes, in treat size portions. Less than 10% of daily intake.

Are they allowed corn and wheat?

If those are ingredients in the chicken food, they are fine.

If they are being given separately, then I agree with BrooksHatlen that you should limit the amount.
