Not sure what to do about feeding different age chickens

Yes. I never, ever feed layer feed and just give them their shells and/or oyster shell. My flock has laid just fine for 20 years without layer feed. Not sure what I'd do if they laid any better, I'm already making 10 egg pound cake!

I agree with donrae, this will work fine and is basically my suggestion. All Flock and Flock Raiser have about the same protein as starter grower, and pretty much the same levels of everything else, too. The big difference for me is that it's hard to find unmedicated starter around here, and I don't keep them on medicated feed once they've outgrown that susceptible chick stage. So they get switched to Flock Raiser around five weeks, and that's what I have around.
 
Thank you all for the suggestions! I al going to get some more feed today and some oyster shells! Can't wait for my first egg!
