Hi all,
our girls are now 14 weeks old,and are on growers pellets, but when is it the right time to change to layers pellets? and when to offer grit/oyster shell and a treat of corn, i am aware they wont start laying for about another 10 weeks.
if someone could shed some light on this for me please,
many thanks.
Neil.

I would start to change them over now, and also start with the other stuff, grit and oyster shell to be available all the time, and just a small amount of mixed corn about an hour before bed if you wish.

thanks joyful, should the change from growers to layers be phazed in over a period of time?

thanks in advance

Neil.

good luck not too long to wait for eggies, some hens lay before 24 weeks (around 18 weeks onwards depending on breed)
