My gals are somewhere between 14-15+ weeks, can't say for sure as I didn't get them as chicks and the former owner was a little hazy on it. They look like little hens, they have rosy cheeks and combs, they make chickeny noises.
The trouble is that when I sent my husband out for their feed the feed store only had layer pellets available for organic feed. They convinced him that at 14-15 weeks it wasn't going to be a problem to give them layer pellets. Oh, it is a random group in terms of breeds: RIRs, red sexlinks, wyandottes and Jersey Giants (or is that giantesses).
My question is: will the layer feed be bad for them at this point? I don't want to mess them up but I also don't want to drive a distance to get the grower pellets if they don't need them at this point. I suspect I need to go looking for grower pellets. Can anyone tell me I'm wrong?
Thanks!
