it applies to all starters I saw tbh

My 5 week old chicks have been eating chick starter. When do I change their food and what do I change it too.

Do you plan on staying with the Manna Pro brand name?

I think so. Should I buy the oyster shells.

Manna Pro recommends feeding the medicated chick starter for only 8 weeks.
The non Medicated starter can be fed up until they start laying and then they recommend you switch to one of their layer feeds.

What is layer feed and grower feed.

When you switch to a layer feed I do not believe it is necessary to buy the oyster shell too.

Manna Pro doesn't make a "grower" feed per se.

What is labor feed though.

Layer feed is specially formulated to feed to hens. It provides all the necessary goid stuff to help them be healthy and lay well
