My pullets are between lets say 16 and 21 weeks old (seller said 8-10 weeks for 3 and 13 weeks for one at the time I got them 8 weeks ago so there is a bit of a range) and nobody is laying yet. I have just a few more days worth of grower feed to use up and then I'm going to have to buy a new bag of feed.
With only 4 birds it will take me around 8 weeks to go through another whole bag so I was hoping I could buy layer feed this time around but don't want to mess up the girls' protein or calcium intake either.
Any advice? Should I just buy the grower and offer oyster shell when they lay or go ahead and buy layer feed? If I do another grower could I mix the two to use it up once they start laying? Not sure what to do here.
I do wish that there was an option to buy a smaller bag once in a while.
