You would feed pullets a type of laying hen feed or a specific name layena it is a a (a purina product) If u have baby chicks u would feed them chick starter I would prefer u to buy the medicated chick starter so they won't get sick when u get them for the few weeks they are born.

Can broilers chicks be raised as layers?
Some people have reported success raising Cornish X pullets as layers; some even say they can be very good producers. Of greatest concern in maintaining broiler pullets as layers would be maintaining their health. Meat chickens are bred to put on weight quickly, converting feed to muscle protein quite efficiently. They do this so efficiently that often their internal organs suffer. A production layer, or even a heritage breed pullet, has better skeletal structure, muscle distribution, and feed to egg conversion rates and is generally preferred for egg production.
