I use chick starter til they start to lay, it's way too early for layer feed. The only place I know if that has grower is Tractor Supply - Depending on whereyou live, a bigname store may have it. Ours doesn't

You can only get it at a big food store like tractor supply or Agway. Look up feed stores in your area. It cost around 13$ for a 50lb bag. You feed grower after starter and after grower you feed layer. Layer has too much calcium in it for such a young bird not laying yet.

I get it from a local feed store, but other then that---Tractor Co.

Depending where you are in the country. Heinold feed has a fantastic chick grower. I really like their whole line of poultry feed.
A lot of feed companies just carry a Starter/Grower that is intended from hatch til onset of lay. Ex. Purina Start N Grow
Most of the time in those cases the protien is lower than in a bag that is strickly starter.
