How old should a chicken be to change feed?
I have chicks two months old, and would like to know when you stop feeding starter/grower and what to feed next.

We feed ours the medicated chick starter for ten weeks, then they come out of the brooder and go into the flock. The whole flock gets the layer feed and cracked corn. You don't want to feed the medicated feed all the way up until they lay. If you eat the eggs, you would be ingesting the antibiotic from the medicated feed.

after 5-months, the chicken's digestive-system starts to tune into what it eats-meaning that the chicken can will have a harder time adjusting to new feeds.
