Starter Feed

[bald k9]

Hello At what age do I switch to regular food for my chicks? thank you for your help

Depends on what you are feeding them, but usually switch to a laying ration close to point of lay whick is usually around the 6 month marker.

I wouldn't switch to a layer till I see the first egg. Hatchery stock will start laying before exhibition/show stock and bantam before large fowl...

I feed a Starter/Grower like Kalmbach 1044 to chicks, growers and layers. As the birds start to lay I add some Calcium carbonate/ Feed Grade Limestone to bring up the Calcum..
