Starter or Growing Feed?

[chicks93]

My chicks were a couple days old when I got them on April 10th. So they are a little over a month old now, almost 5 weeks. I just noticed that I need to purchase more food tomorrow but I don't know if I should continue them on starter feed or if I should start giving them growing feed? Please let me know what you think!

They can go to grower feed at 8 weeks. Or if you feed starter/grower they are on that the whole time until the point of lay which is 18-20 weeks usually.

Yes, they should be on a 20-18% starter until they reach 8 weeks. Check out my link attached too.
