For all of us newbies on here, what are the different kinds of feed?

Believe it or not after eating some of both the rooster will choose the one with lesser calcium for himself. They are pretty smart about what they eat. It is sort of like when we have a craving for something salty. It is usually a trigger in the body saying "Hey, I need something go get the salty chips so I can get the mineral I am lacking".

There is a lot of info on the web about specific feed products as well.

So have I really messed up by feeding my pullets that aren't laying yet (10 to 12 week olds) layer pellets?

They seem to be thriving and have almost doubled in size in the past month we've had 'em.

Please help!
