Too dusty?

So input my pullet and cocks in with my big girls and changed the food to chick is it too small?

That looks pretty small. How old are your young chickens? If they are feathered you can leave it at the crumble size that it comes in in the bag.

That's plenty old enough. It probably won't hurt to leave it like that, but larger crumbles are ideal. Also, if you are using that feed for your entire flock, be sure to give your older hens a source of calcium such as oyster shells, as chick feed doesn't have enough to sustain egg laying and a hen's other calcium needs.

You could always mix it with some water to make it like an oatmeal consistency, my chickens love a wet mash!
