I've been supplementing my free-rangers with layer pellets (free choice in a feeder) and soaked grains (free choice in the mornings on th ground). I just now introdcued some new pullets to the flock (smooth sailing so far) but I'm not sure when these young-uns can start eating layer pellets (I
ve heard the extra protein cna be harmful to chicks).
The birds I just introduced are 13 weeks old, and 9 weeks old (a few of each). Can I resume layer pellets as I was doing, or do I need to hold off until the youngest are a certain age (and what age would that be)?
