I have 9 pullets and am feeding them chick starter. I can't remember what I am supposed to feed them once they go outside in the coop. At what age do I stop feeding them chick starter? I did this one time before, but can't remember what I did. Thanks for the help with this.
 
Chick starter is fine their entire lives actually. You will need to provide oyster shell in a separate container.
The other option at that age is all flock or flock raiser. Those are also fine to feed their entire lives with oyster shell in a separate container.

I switch to layer feed once everyone is actually laying. I still keep oyster shell available. I also give a wet mash of all flock mixed with water every day. My older birds that no longer lay aren't forced to consume calcium levels above their needs that way.
