chick feed?

[tonnerre]

i have some chick start/grower left over and i was wondering if i could feed it to my chickens even though they are 16 weeks old. perhaps by mixing it with their regular feed?

I would do that rather then toss it. I keep mine on starter/grower until they are around 18 weeks old.

Dont see why it would hurt them...how much are you talking about?

For how many birds... not sure it really matters-- I am planning to keep my Jersey Giants on starter for at least 6months... But they are a very heavy slow growing breed....

i have nine. 3 buffs, 3 astralorps (sp?), and 3 barred rocks.

thanks for the info. i'll just go ahead and mix it in with their other feed. no doubt they'll be ok with it.
