Feeding polish roosters

[thanai]

Hi everyone,
Currently my polish roosters are on grower feed, and will be for some time yet, but what do I feed them when they are old enough to be off grower feed? Is there a "rooster feed" like there is a layer feed?

And by "rooster feed" I mean a male equivalent to layer feed.

Not as far as I’m aware. You can just carry on feeding them chick crumb, grower or all flock, these are all suitable as they don’t have the extra calcium laying hens need.

Hens that lay eggs need more calcium than other chickens, so layer feed has the extra calcium.

But a full-grown rooster doesn't need anything different than a still-growing cockerel, so he can just eat grower feed or chick starter for the rest of his life.
