I get our feed from Jax usually or Tractor Supply. Even if they have not started laying you should put them on layer feed at about 18 weeks. They need the calcium and the correct formula a bit before they start laying. Try to get some Oystershell as well to give to them. In a separate container or add to the food. They really need lots of calcium and egg shells might not be enough. If they do not get enough calcium they could get egg bound or have poorly formed eggs. And yes, add Grit to the area they are in too. Surrounding dirt might not be enough for them.
Yes, keep treats to a minimum. A really good book I found is Fresh Eggs Daily. They talk about a lot of treats to give for specific reasons, plus things to stay away from.
Good about the feed. We had some major issues when ours were still young, but now we go through way less feed since they don't kick it all over. (ours just started laying a couple weeks ago..well some did, others haven't...we have 14.)
We get the Nutrena brand, if you can, DO NOT get Purina. Heard ZERO good things about them...from people that work there and people at the feed stores. Also, crumbles are better digested if you can get that rather than pellets. (Also from a worker at a feed store).
