SallyD Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hi. My three chicks, that my broody frizzle hatched, are now six weeks old and I wondered what age they should be when i switch to feeding them growers pellets instead of chick crumbs. Also their mum is still having chick crumbs too, when should she start having layers pellets again? Thanks Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 You can start mixing in the growers now, the broody will eat those too Once the broody is fed up with the chicks and you separate her out she can go back on her normal food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Chick Crumb should be fed from 0-6 weeks Growers pellets should be fed from 6-18 weeks Layers pellets should be fed 18 weeks onwards. Mix in a bit of the new food into the old when you are progressing. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
