chicken starter to layer feed

[sandie44]

I have 5 adults hens that I feed layers feed, but I just introduced 6 12 week old pullets into the coop. My question is can they be fed the layer feed now even though they shouldn't start laying for another month?They are free range and will probably eat mostly out on the acreage.

It would be better to give them all a non layer food, for the next six weeks. Have some calcium supplement on the side, for the ones laying.
