bizzylizzy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi, We are rescuing some ex batts in a week or so from fresh start for hens. I had any email confirming my donation and everything. They said in the email that i need to get some layers mash. I know this sounds daft but is this the same as chick crumb, i'm a tad confused. Thank you in advance. bizzylizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 no. chick crumbs are for chicks (0-6 weeks). layers mash are for layers (16 weeks onwards). they have different amounts of vitamins and minerals for growing and laying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 No - its mashed up pellets. They usually have some for sale at the rescue in my experience. I switch mine to layers pellets over about a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
