New chickens

[Melinda07]

I got 2 buff Orpington’s and 2 Araucana’s March 26, at 15 1/2 weeks my 1 of Araucana’s laid 2 eggs and has been laying an egg a day since... even 3 double yolkers! None of the rest has started laying yet. Looking forward to the rest beginning. Can they all eat the same feed?

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

You might use a flock raiser type feed or get them all on chick starter feed for now, the Buff Orps are still a month or so away from laying yet, a bit too early for layer feed. When pullets start squatting I know they are close enough to laying I can use layer feed.

Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!
