out of food

[farmerPEEPS]

hey. Our pullets are 9 weeks old and we ran out of food (we cant go to the store until tomorrow). Can we give them layer food or what should we feed them?
Thanks, Kayla.

Hey. Yeah. One day isn't going to kill them.

No layer food until around 20 weeks. They can eat crumpled hard boiled eggs, grass, mealworms, insects, yogurt, and many other vegetables and fruits. Not to much apple.

One day? Truly, it takes weeks for the calcium in Layer to build up and potentially cause gout. Again, one day meaningless and provides no risk to their health. Jeepers. All feed, chick starter and grower also have calcium, just not as much. A day or two on Layer could not possibly hurt your pullets.
