Do different breeds start laying at different ages?
I just got 4 Black Stars and 1 Black Australorp yesterday. The farm said they were all 4 months old. He told me to keep them on Purina Start and Grow until February and then switch to Layena or other layer food.
I have read other places that they should be started on layer feed at 18 weeks and have also read not until 20 weeks.
Which is best?
Thanks, Megan
