At what age do you change your chickens from chick starter to adult chicken food ? I am interested! And do you ever put your old ladies back on chick startwr since it has extra nutritional value?

Good to know I buy meticated chick start for 16 weeks and then the 16 percent calcium then when they got older back to chick starter or that's my plan lolI keep my birds on Starter their whole lives. I don't like to feed layer since it has extra calcium. That calcium isn't good for roosters, older hens, molting hens, broody hens, or any hens that aren't laying consistently. Starter is basically the same thing as All Flock, just higher protein which I like. Plus, I feed fermented Scratch and Peck, and they don't have an All Flock feed.
Just make sure you aren't feeding adults medicated chicks starter. They don't need it.Good to know I buy meticated chick start for 16 weeks and then the 16 percent calcium then when they got older back to chick starter or that's my plan lol
