When to start introducing adult chicken food?

Hello everyone, I've been wondering, when should I start introducing full grown chicken feed to my chicks? When should they be fully eating the full grown feed?

They can stay on chick feed their entire lives. It's like an All Flock, or Flock Raiser feed.
If you do this, just be sure to supplement calcium(Oyster Shells) on the side when they start laying.

If you maintain them on chick feed, they will be able to supplement themselves with calcium for eggshells when they need it. For example, many stop laying during molt/winter and don't need the calcium present in layer feed. Roosters also do not need much calcium.

Helps if you link or identify which "adult chicken feed" you're considering. All flock, as indicated by name, is appropriate for all ages and genders as far as nutrition.
