Why change? I'd keep them on starter or give them Flock Raiser or All Flock or something with a protein content around 18-20% and just put out containers of oyster shell. That way they have a complete feed with a good protein content and can supplement themselves with the OS for the additional calcium they need when producing eggs but can stop eating it when they molt. And if you ever get a rooster or new chicks, you don't need to try to isolate them to keep them away from layer feed which would contain too much calcium.So my chicks are 20 weeks old today. I have 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 California Greys, and 1 Wyandotte. They have been eating chick feed. What now? And any certain way to introduce new food?
