Feed Q
« on: November 08, 2011, 10:29 »
It's time forme to buy another sack of feed but I'm unsure what to buy this time.
My chickens are now POL age (19 weeks + 1 @23 weeks) but I don't think they are anywhere near to laying an egg due to their breeds (brahma, orpington, faverolles + RIR) and ttime of year.
So should I buy another sack of growers or do I move them on to layers now?

how long does it take you to get through a sack of feed?
Staffies are softer than you think.

most will be ok on growers but I am not sure about the RIR, you could always by none medicated growers then if they do start to lay you can still eat the eggs and do the change over gradually  :)

Thank you Joyfull. I think I'll get growers this week then. Next week I'll get layers and start mixing the feeds to change them over.
