Chick feed advice

[Chicken Mom Peg]

Need advice. I don't know what I was thinking but I bought grower feed instead of starter feed and have been feeding it to my new chicks for 5 weeks and 4 weeks. Now I'm not sure if I should switch to starter for a couple weeks or just keep giving them the grower. They all seem healthy.

What is the protein content of the grower?

I feed my chicks starter/grower feed.
Good question above about the protein level.

If the protein is 18-20% that should be sufficient. They're getting close to the age where I'd switch them over to grower anyhow, so I really don't see a need to work backwards.

I buy from a local feed mill and the tag is no longer on the bag. I will have to call when they open.
