If I've only got one mom and her babies, what should I feed them? I think the mom currently eats layer crumbles, but from what I can gather, layer rations aren't good to feed to young birds. They need starter/grower or something along those lines. So do I switch the mom to starter/grower? These will be my first chickens and I don't have any feed yet. I just want to get the right stuff so mom and her brood are healthy and happy.
 
Just feed the mother, what your feeding the babies chick starter and grower wont hurt her

I feed mine Flock Raiser crumbles with a some chick grit thrown in and they did just fine.
