I bought 27 Rhode Island Reds back in May as a straight run. Now that they are about 4 months old, I found I have too many roosters for the hens (11/6). So about 1 month ago I went back and got 10 more. The guy at TSC tried to sex them for me so I'm hoping I got more hens now. The little ones are getting rambunctious and antsy in their 4x4 pen in the garage and I'd like to put them with the others outside. The problem is the others are on adult food (scratch grain mixed with layer and meat bird powder) while the younger ones need to stay on the starter food for 10-12 weeks, or so I've read. I'm in a quandary as what to do here.
