When my hens stop laying eggs, what should I start feeding them? Now, I feed them 16 % layer feed, and they have been laying for about a year now, and their main diet is laying feed, with a few treats mixed in.
So when my girls stop laying in about a year, should I just feed them regular feed, or still laying feed because it contains a lot of nutrients?
 
Any chicken that isn't laying doesn't need the extra calcium in layer. So yes if they aren't laying they can go on a feed that is lower in calcium like an all flock or grower.
