The grower feed is a type of feed that has less protein than the chick starter, but still has more than layer feed, which is another type of feed. This type of feed is used to support the growth of the new chickens after 6 weeks of feeding with chick starter until they can lay their first eggs. The grower feed may either be crumbled or pellet type. Some people prefer the pellet type of grower feed for it is less wasted than the crumbled ones. But others prefer the crumbled type and they make it into a porridge looking feed so it will waste less, too.
