gavclojak Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 My ex commercial girls are now are around 2 3/4 years olds and have virtually stopped laying, are they still ok on layers pellets or should I change the feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 My oldies have layers pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 We give our non-layers rearers pellets, but they are a bit more expensive. Slightly more protein in them usually and less Calcium, which they don't need if they are not laying. Probably not worth bothering really and stick to the layers, because changing their feed can bring on problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'd just keep them on layers TBH; I have several elderly freeloaders, and they just eat the same as the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyripkim Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Same here, out of my group of 10 bantams I am lucky to get four eggs a day but then half of them are oldies now enjoying retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
