Town and Country wants to help you raise the healthiest poultry around. Follow the feeding instructions below and you will have a higher success rate raising your birds. 

Feed chicks a "starter" diet soon after they hatch. Continue feeding the starter feed until they reach 6 or 8 weeks of age. The starter diet has the highest level of protein a chicken receives during its lifetime. As the chick matures, it requires a lower percentage of dietary protein and a higher level of energy. 

After the chicks reach 6 or 8 weeks of age, feed them a "finisher" diet (to broilers) or a "developer" diet (to pullets or cockerels saved for breeding purposes). Feed broilers a finisher diet until they reach slaughter size. Feed the pullets and cockerels a developer until they are at least 20 weeks of age. When they begin egg production, feed them a "layer" ration until egg production ends. Egg producing chickens also need extra calcium in their diets to help with egg shell formation. This can be supplied by feeding oyster shell free choice to your pullets.
