Chickens require various nutrients for optimal health. These include proteins, calcium and Omega Fatty Acids.
Chicks and pullets need more protein than adult hens as their bodies continue to expand rapidly; however, too much protein could cause kidney issues later.
This feed offers a balanced blend of protein, calcium, and other important vitamins and minerals for optimal egg laying performance. Furthermore, its convenient resealable bag keeps flavor freshness at its maximum!
High-Protein Grain Blend
Chickens get most of their protein needs met through meat consumption; however, plant-based sources also need to be included for a balanced diet. High-protein grains provide energy and B vitamins; examples include cornmeal, kamut (wheat berries), quinoa, millet, buckwheat and couscous as sources.

Its protein blend features gluten-free options derived from spent brewers grain (SBG), an upcycled ingredient which would otherwise be wasted, while it also features low-glycemic brown rice as an effective alternative to white.
Layer feed offers the optimal combination of protein and calcium that promotes top egg production from your flock. Use it as the main food source for adult laying hens and supplement it with fresh pasture, scratch, or kitchen scraps as necessary. Remember not to overburden their digestive systems with too much extra protein!
