When should the transition from starter to developer feed occur for H&N Brown Nick brown layer chicks under daily water intake tracking (1.8 to 2 times feed intake)?

Feed transitions must be managed scientifically based on body weight rather than age alone. Transitioning H&N Brown Nick brown layer pullets too early can cause nutritional deficiencies and slow bone development, whereas transitioning too late increases feed costs and causes unfavorable eggshell color fading (pale brown eggs). Monitoring daily water intake tracking (1.8 to 2 times feed intake) and using adjusting feed energy to amino acid ratios in the pre-lay diet helps maintain smooth transitions.
