My chickies are 9.5 weeks old now. I have grower feed ready to transition them to but have been waiting for the chick starter to run out. They should be through it by mid next week if not next weekend. Should I just switch them now (am I hurting them at this age with too high a protein level) or is it ok to feed until it’s gone?
 
If the Starter is 18 to 20% you could continue to feed.
I would mix it 50/50 with the Grower for a week.
So when you have 4 days worth of Starter left, mix with the Grower. GC
Thank you! I thought it may be ok to use until it runs out but wasn’t sure. And I will definitely mix it 50/50 to transition!
