Crumbles?

[64fyermun]

How long do you feed your chicks the crumbles or the starter?

mine stayed on chick starter till they were about 7 weeks old, then went to layer pellets

Thanks. Mine are 8 weeks old, but I've got still got some starter left. I was gonna give it to them until it ran out. I was just making sure I could move up to something else the next time I went to the feed store. Thanks for your response!

I keep mine on chick starter/grower until they are around 16 or 17 weeks old, because that's when they're growing. Layer feed has alot of extra calcium that can be harmful to a growing chicken.

Chicmom may have a point, but mine turned out just fine. Good luck

my bag is probably 1/2 empty, chicks are about 3-1/2 weeks old, and i'm already mixing in regular feed with the crumbles. also giving oyster shells mixed in.
