Speaking for common small-flock management...not sure what the large-scale operation practice is. Layer chicks are often raised on medicated chick starter, the relevant ingredient of which is amprolium, which is to prevent coccidiosis. (Amprolium is an analog for Vitamin B1 and is not an organism, itself.) The amprolium keeps the coccidiosis microbe at bay in the chicks' bodies until, at eight or nine weeks, the chicks have developed a resistance to coccidiosis from low-level environmental exposure to it, and do not need the amprolium any more, so are switched to unmedicated feed. Hens typically don't start laying until twenty weeks of age, so there is no reason why a laying hen would be eating amprolium-medicated feed any more, anyhow.
