When to change the type of feed?

Ayhow, that's the older broiler mix above, too much fat for your purposes.

You can use this one all their lives.

That's the one i've been using so far. And the one on the right hand side, 'munakana', is the one i was considering using when they start laying because of the higher calcium content (and because i thought it was the thing to do, get a layer food when they start laying...), but also because it GMO free while the 'noorkana' isn't

If your flock is entirely adult production hens, and you value GMO free, you can do that. If your flock is mixed gender, or includes birds not yet sexually mature, I would avoid - the excess calcium is not beneficial to young birds or males at any age - it can be quite harmful over time.

In any event, WELCOME to BYC!
