Red girl Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hi Looking for some advice about my new girls. I have 2 new girls - a Welsummer and a Cream Legbar - that will be 17 weeks this weekend. I have them seperated from the older girls - 2 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Light Sussex - which are about a year old. I have had new girls for nearly 3 weeks and this weekend i hope to put them all together I have them on growers pellets so should i start mixing in layers pellets as this is what older girls are on or is it to early? I have also read that they should be on crushed oyster shell yet but this also is there for older girls. I have had them all out FR a couple of times for hour or so at a time some chasing and a few feathers pulled out but no blood or really prolonged attacks. Any advice would be welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 You could put the youngsters on layers pellets but being pure breeds I personally wouldnt I'd start integration carefully and put all of them on growers pellets (it wont do they layers any harm) The shell grit isnt ideal but is just about ok at this stage and certainly better than no grit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
