Changing feed

[crooked stripe]

At what time do I change from crumbles to pellets in the feed? I have 14 week olds that won't eat anything of any size. I have feed corn as treats and they won't eat the whole kernels. Just cracked corn. John

At 14 weeks old you can feed either!

Here's what I do: Up to 4 months old,I feed strictly grower crumbles. Then I add chick grit to their food for a few days and gradulally add layer pellets,starting with a few handfuls/day for several days. About 1/week,I increase the ratio of pellets to crumbles,until after about a month,they are at 50/50. By the middle of month 5,they are usually on pelltets only. Be sure to add some chick grit every few days,just a handful mixed in the food is good.
