Medicated Feed

[silkiechick05]

At what age do you change from medicated to regular feed?

 

[Luvs chickens]

at 8 weeks can switch to growers feed.

OH

I am a little bit late then...

LOL

Me too... my girls are 10 weeks on Monday and are still on the medicated starter. Guess I'll be going to the store today. Will it hurt them to have been on it too long?

Ugh... Mine were 16 weeks before I made the switch... I wonder if that has any influence on the fact that they are 21 weeks and none seem to be close to laying.

Is it starter only or a start and grow formula? Mine ate the Purina medicated Start and Grow untill they were around 16 or 17 weeks of age. Bag says to feed up to 18 weeks of age. Mine started laying around 22 weeks old.
