It should tell you on the back of the bag. what age and what to feed them. I can't remember but I know it's getting close to feeding them layer feed. They may have to be laying first though. I recently changed over to purena all flock. You can feed them that from chick to laying hen. So far I love it.

Read the tag on bottom of bag, if it's a large bag or back of a small bag.
I just went to TSC website and Dumor Grower-Finisher 15 % protein. Says feed from 10 to 18 weeks. I would want more than 15% protein, at least 16%, when they start laying. GC

I'm not at all fond of grower b/c it is only 15%. At that age, I'd put your pullets on layer, or keep them on starter, or put them on a multi flock which should be about 18%.

I believe Dumor is just the generic brand at TSC made by Purena. If you're unable or unwilling (likely due to price) to go organic and GMO free, I'd suggest Nutrena NatureWise over Purena. Cost is roughly the same as Purena, sometimes less. TSC also carries Nature's Best which is certified organic & GMO free for about $25 per 40 lbs; much cheaper than most.
