You're good with steak and chips finely diced now.
Need to wait until they are fully feathered before you start them on curries.

You and they are good with starter feed for at least eight to ten weeks. Some people, depending on the nutritional content of the feed stick with starter feed right up to the time the pullets start to lay eggs.
