Different aged chicks (how to separate their food or should you?)

[skscott]

I have hens that are 4 months old and 2 months old. Can they eat the same food and if not how do you prevent it?

The 4 and 2 month olds should all be eating chick starter or a grower feed. It doesn't matter which. Yes, they can all eat the same feed till the older ones begin to lay.

I have hens that are laying and pullets that are close. They all eat grower/starter and I give the layers crushed egg shells (the young girls have no interest in them).
