Food to feed

[Shelleygroat]

i am wondering what’s the best feed for my chickens, I currently feed them 16% later pellets. I have 9 laying hens, 1 rooster and 3 new hens that are about 3 months old that I got about 3 weeks ago. Please help.

Grower or maintenance feed is the best.

It is best if roosters and any birds not building egg shells not eat layer feed. Layer is about 4% calcium and all other feeds are about 1%.
Layer is intended for flocks of hens actively laying eggs.
Mixed flocks, need a different feed that won't overload kidneys and provide oyster shell or other large particle calcium source in a separate container the hens can choose to consume if they feel the need.
