Feeding chicks and layers

[AussieRed]

I have six 5 week old chicks and 2 layers. I had just bought a bag of Henhouse Reserve. Is it ok for the chicks to eat that once I put them with the two layers this weekend?

You could but you can just feed everyone grower feed. Layer has too little protein and too much calcium for non laying birds.

Feed the flock based on the youngest member.

Keep additional calcium source on the side regardless of feed type.
