Feeding 9-week old juvie Black Stars

[FinnIslander]

Question: Please excuse my ignorance but I'm receiving several 6-9 week old juvenile birds (from Murray-McMurrays) and am not sure what to feed them and when to switch feeds. I've tried searching all the forums but couldn't find an answer. Should I (pardon the pun) start them on "starter feed" or go right to "grower feed"? What/when does one switch from starter to grower to layer feed anyways? Thanks

BTW - I TRULY love all the support people give on this site.

Chick starter goes to aprox 10-12 weeks

Grower is up to 18 weeks or egg laying

Layer is when the are older than 18 weeks and laying

The back of the feed bags gives a guide line of the appropriate feeding age

These are all approximate and may vary just by a few weeks.
It's not going to harm them if your off by a week or two, they will be fine.

Hope that helps...
Good Luck with you new birds!

Wow! Thanks ever so much. I'm getting the juvies in 2 weeks but want to pick up the feed ahead of time os that REALLY helps.
