Food help!

[Chickylady77]

Hey all! First time chicken lady. I have three chickens, one confirmed pullet and two confirmed cockerels. They are 18 weeks old and I am unsure what food to put them on now from their starter chicken food! All help is greatly appreciated!

I would definitely put them on an all-flock feed. All-flock has higher protein, and is good for chicks and adults, but also lower calcium, which is also good for chicks and adults, especially roosters. You'd have to get some oyster shell though and put that in a separate dish for the pullet when she starts laying. Hens still benefit from the all-flock's higher protein as it helps with feather growth, among other things.
