i have 12 9 week old chicks, some standards and a few bantams. at what point can i put them with the older hens(which are all standards)? and when can i switch them over from starter feed to the layer that the older girls are getting
I mix mine when the one's I'm adding are almost as big as the other or around 16 weeks! I feed them all Flock Raiser and have oyster shell free choice for my layers!! Good Luck Missi
I have to agree that to risk adding birds of widely different sizes is a recipe for disaster. I always wait until they are at least 16 weeks old.
