What age do you switch foods?

[Willow's Meadow]

What age should you switch from chick starter to a grower or a flock raiser?

I hear you should switch when they start laying.

I am new to all this, but I have read starter until 6-8 weeks, then grower until the onset of laying. Then layer with oyster shell as needed. Thats how I plan to go about it anyways. Also, grit for when you start with greens.

It depends a lot on the manufacture of the feed that you are using..
Buckeye feed recommends-
Starter - Day old to 12 weeks
Grower - 12 weeks to laying

I myself use Kalmbach Feeds and have a Starter/ Grower that is 21% protein and I use it on all my bird (chicks, growers, breeder and layers)...
