Time For Feed Transition???

[nancypo]

I'm wondering about how old to transition my girls from "starter feed" to pullet/laying feed? Two of the girls are about 8-9 weeks old, the other 7-8, very healthy and happy. I think I read to wait to about 4 months? Then switch to layering feed or?

I wait till between 3 and 4 months and switch them to layer.

Thanks. They love the feed and they're getting some fruits and dandelions, grass....

Good! I find mine don't need as much calcium supplemented when they are ranging. They get plenty from bugs. I have all of mine on Flock Raiser right now and have oyster shell free choice, and it has hardly been touched. They still have nice thick shells and an egg a day from each girl

Mine are obviously too young to lay yet, but they're growing fast!
