My flock consists of 28 pullets. At least 2 of them are getting ready to lay, I expect others to follow soon. Of my Pullets 10 are 19 - 20 weeks. Two are doing the egg squat.
My problem is that in this flock the youngest are only 15 weeks. Also, some of my older ones are large breeds and probably won't lay right away. Six of my 15 week pullets are Golden Comets so they might lay early.
When should I start feeding layer? Should I leave the grower out when I switch? If I leave two types of feed out I won't be able to control who eats what. Didn't think of this when I mixed them all together. They do get along very well.
