Well, I'm about to run out of chick food...and my CCL are 11 weeks old while my Meyers chicks are 8 weeks old. Obviously I don't want to buy another 50 lb bag of chick food. But I don't think they are ready for layer food yet. My CCL are getting quite red combs though!
What should I do?? And what about oyster shell? I didn't think I should be adding that until they start laying, but should I add it closer to when the CCL are 18 weeks? Feeding mixed groups is difficult!!
I switch to grower/finisher after 8 weeks. You could feed that to everyone and leave your oyster shell out in a separate feeder for the big girls.
