Questions about this feed
Short answers to what people ask. Always follow the feeding directions on the bag tag.
-
Can every bird in a mixed flock eat the same feed?
The youngest birds, species, and laying status all matter. Use the mixed-flock options to account for chickens, waterfowl, and other birds sharing the feeder. Check your mixed flock →
-
When do chicks move from starter to grower to layer feed?
Follow the feeding stages on the specific bag. Start chicks on an appropriate starter, use a grower or developer for growing pullets, and move hens to an appropriate layer feed as they approach laying, according to the product directions. Meat birds, turkeys, and gamebirds need their own feeding programs. Find a feed for your birds →
-
Can young chicks eat layer feed?
Layer feed has calcium levels intended for egg production and is not an appropriate starter for young chicks. Keep chicks on feed suited to their age. If chicks share a feeder with adult layers, ask for a mixed-age feeding plan. Check your mixed-age flock →
-
What is the difference between grit and oyster shell?
Insoluble grit helps the gizzard grind foods such as whole grains. Oyster shell supplies calcium and serves a different purpose; the two are not interchangeable. Use age-appropriate grit when birds need it, and plan calcium supplementation around their laying status and complete feed. Ask about your flock →
-
Can scratch grains replace complete feed?
No. Scratch grains are not a complete diet. Keep an appropriate complete feed as the foundation of the feeding program and offer scratch as an occasional treat, rather than mixing it into the complete feed and changing the nutrient balance. Read University of Georgia guidance →

-
What should I feed during a moult?
Provide an appropriate complete feed, fresh water, and consistent care while birds replace feathers. Avoid diluting their ration with large amounts of scratch or treats. Review the flock’s laying status and shared-feeder needs when choosing the feed. Read the Backyard Flock Moulting Guide →
