feed for 17 week old silkies

[silkie4]

Ok, our silkies are now 17 weeks old and just used up the last of the starter feed. We bought a bag of Nature Wise Layer Feed 16% crumbles. Is it ok to start using it, and should they be getting anything else?
Thanks for any input, we are new to this and so far just love them!

It should be fine. I usually go with about 18 weeks but a few days or a week early probably isn't going to do any harm.

They are pretty close to full grown by now so it should be fine. You could be super conservative and get a grower feed but that would be a waste since they will be on layer pretty soon anyway.
