Your chicks have continued to grow and mature weekly and have become quite independent. They will become sexually mature between 4 and 6 months of age and with any luck (and excellent nutrition, of course!) you’ll have your first egg laid soon thereafter!

 

  Tips to Grow On  
  • You should still be feeding Purina Mills Start & Grow® SunFresh® Recipe to your birds. A layer diet should not be fed until 18 weeks of age because of the high calcium levels which are inappropriate for younger birds.
     

  • Remember to always provide fresh water. Water is essential for healthy chickens, not to mention future egg production. As the weather gets warmer, they will drink more water so make sure they have access to a never ending supply!
     

  • Mixed flocks including hens, broilers, geese and ducks thrive on SunFresh Recipe® Flock Raiser® until 18 weeks of age.
     

  • Remember to provide your pullets with 17-18 hours of light per day starting at 16 weeks of age.
