What should I feed a mixed age flock?Updated 17 days ago

When it comes to a flock with younger and old feathered friends, you will want to choose your feed based on the youngest members of your flock. 

This likely means feeding Fresh Pecks All Flock to your whole flock as your little ones grow big and strong since feeding chicks under 20 weeks of age too much calcium can be detrimental to their health. If your babies are being raised separately from the flock, then Little Pecks Starter-Grower is the way to go. It has additional fat and energy for your little ones to grow, while All Flock has less fat to keep your older flock members fit but is still suitable for your little ones.  

You will want to supplement your older layer hens with free-choice oyster shell for supplemental calcium.
