How about yalls take on medicated feeds? for the first few months of their life i fed them Dumor grower/chick starters. now im feeding them Purina start and grow medicated feed (was the only one available for younger chicks not positive how old they are if i had to say they're 4-4 1/2 months old. after this bags done i should start their layer feed which again here comes another question crumbles or pellets? ill mostly go for crumbles however i'm really skeptical because I've heard very much crossed reviews of corn i don't wanna feed them anything with corn in it

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You might want to post in the Feeding your flock forum also. https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/12/feeding-watering-your-flock I prefer pellets since my birds seem to have less waste with them if you are just talking about the shape of the food. Most Layer feeds say to start when the birds are around 18 weeks old or are laying eggs.
