Chicken Mash

[Moketian]

Good day
I would like to know is it ok if I feed my hens laying mash although I have a rooster.

The rooster can eat any feed the hens eat. When I had my roo he was very healthy eating their “laying hen” diet

Roosters are better off not eating a layer ration. The calcium in it can shorten their lives in my experiences. I personally recommend feeding a non medicated starter grower or an All Flock ration. Keep a separate bowl of oyster shells for the calcium needs. Your hens will consume them as necessary. I personally haven't fed a layer in 5 years.
