Hello, I'm Kerry from London England

[kerry-anne]

I've not long started keeping my own chickens. I recently bought 3 chicks and not too sure how old they are. They have most of their adult feathers on their bodies but still yellow fuzz on their heads. I'm wondering when I should switch them to adult feed? Any advice would be great! Thanks

You can change them to adult feed when they are close to laying age.

layer feed(for adult hens) has too much calcium for baby chicks and can harm them. I would keep them on chick starter till they approach 'point of lay'
