So I have recently integrated my 12-13 week old pullets and one cockerel to my existing 6 2 year old laying hens. I’ve gotten mixed feedback on what to feed them. I’ve been using kalambach henhouse reserve for my hens and the chickhouse reserve for my chicks/pullets. I’ve seen that the layers feed is too much calcium for the pullets and cockerel to have. So I have been recommended to try a Gamefowl feed with 18-20% protein with oyster shells on the side as an option. Any recommendations for what you guys feed?! Thanks. Ps first picture is the Kalambach feed and the second is what I was looking into.

The gamefowl feed with oyster shell on the side is fine, you can also feed everyone chick starter or all flock as long as they have crushed oyster shell on the side, whatever is your preference
 
Kalmbach makes an all flock feed. They call it Flock Maker. It comes in crumbles or pellets. 20%protein. I have not checked into the game bird food you mentioned (game food normally has an even higher protein %)
The crumbles are great for feeding chicks and birds of all ages. Add a calcium source on the side when birds are laying.
