I have 20 14 week pullets that are eating flock raiser. They ran out just today. The feed store is out of stock on everything except layer. Is it ok? Thanks

It would be too early for ME to feed layer feed to 'em. Is the feed store ordering any, I hope, and when do they anticipate its arrival?
If it's just a few days, give 'em foods you would normally feed them as treats. Lots of greens, kitchen scraps, cooked rice or noodles to fill 'em up. It won't hurt them for two or three days. And they'll be thrilled as heck "getting treats."
I don't feed layer feed at all, because my flock has all ages plus ducks and geese, too. I use Nutrena's All Flock and provide free choice crushed oyster shell in a separate dish, 24/7. I'd feed chick starter to young birds before I'd feed 'em layer feed before they began to lay.
But that's just me. I'm kinda odd in many respects.![]()
You may or may not be odd, but that looks like good advice to me.![]()
Thanks. I called and they said they'll be out for 2 weeks. Is it proven that layer will hurt them?>?
