Chick Feed vs. Regular Feed

[Julshernandez]

Hi!

I had a friend pick up organic layer crumble for me and she picked up chick feed by mistake. It contains 22% protein, and much of the same nutrients as the adult feed. I know it lacks calcium and I offer oyster shell to my hens in a separate feeder. Is there anything else I should supplement with the chick feed for my layers?

Nope. They'll be good to go.

Edited to add: Actually all feed has some calcium. Chick feed is often around 1.5% as you see on your feed tag. But adding a supplement is advised for heavy layers.
