Help!

I'm out trying to find organic grower and all the stops carry starter and layer. Do I need grower or just jump to layer? And do I feed the starter longer????

Keep the chickens on the grower until they reach 18 weeks. Then they can eat layer.

Keep them on Starter or grower until 18 wks?

Are there directions on the bag? Some mills sell a starter/grower that is designed to be the only feed until they are laying. Others may have have a separate starter and then grower or developer. You might look up the brand by searching Google to see if you can find some recommendations.

What do you think about Southern States Start n Grow @MountainPeeps

Sorry, I've never heard of it. But as long as it has the nutrients and protein percentage needed, it should be fine.

After several stores, I ended up with Natures Best Organic starter/grower 18%.
That will have to do until I'm able to find a local farm/mill where I can get the exact organic I want.
Thanks for all your input! Your link was also very helpful!
Have a great weekend
