Feeding chicks & laying hens together?

[HomeGardenGirl]

How do you combine the feed of chicks and hens when they are old enough to be in the coop and join the flock? We have them on medicated chick starter right now, and the adult flock on a chicken feed from our local grain mill, and oyster shells available as well. I know they can't have too much calcium before they begin laying. Thanks!!

I feed either a non medicated starter grower or an All Flock ration with a separate bowl of oyster shells for the calcium needs.

I feed Grower to my Adults with oyster shell on the side and Medicated starter to my Chicks. It's fine to feed medicated it doesn't hurt the eggs..I put up a creep feeder so the adults don't gobble all the Chick feed.
