Cracked corn may be delicious for chickens, but its consumption alone will not provide them with all of the vitamins and minerals a healthy flock requires. Our corn free feed provides additional calcium for healthy egg shells and organic flax seed to increase omega 3s.
Oats used in this ration provide an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, calcium and fiber while the low phytate corn reduces the need for additional phosphorus supplements.

Protein
Corn is an energy-rich carbohydrate, providing instant energy for your flock. However, corn does not offer complete proteins; methionine and lysine are still necessary in their diets; thus it’s important to include other sources of complete proteins when selecting feed for your flock.
Organic Corn & Soy Free Layer Feed is a non-GMO blend of cracked grains enriched with Fertrell Poultry Nutri-Balancer, organic alfalfa meal, kelp meal and flaxseed fortification to provide minimum 17% protein for optimal egg production or molting seasons in laying hens.
This ration is enhanced with organic minerals and additional calcium for quality egg shells, featuring natural sources of protein like wheat and peas as well as supplemented grit and large flake oyster shell for maximum effectiveness in their diets. Furthermore, soy is removed as this could interfere with estrogenic activity levels in birds.
Fat
Our Certified Organic, Soy Free and Corn Free Layer Feed has been specially formulated to deliver 17% protein for laying hens. Comprised of cracked and milled grains supplemented with organic alfalfa, kelp and Fertrell Poultry Nutri-Balancer as well as calcium for egg shell strength enhancement and organic flaxseed for omega-3 content boost, our Layer Feed is sure to meet the demands of today’s egg layer flocks.
Protein and fat-rich ingredients in your feed will also help your flock’s omega-3: omega-6 ratio remain in balance – essential for cardiovascular health. A mixture of grains, seeds, legumes and kitchen scraps should be utilized to maximize nutritional value of their chicken food supply.
Corn is an excellent source of protein for poultry feed, yet contains high amounts of sugars which can quickly turn to energy and turn your flock’s diet into energy for you. Therefore, it’s wise to limit its usage and substitute with peas, wheat or oats instead in order to increase protein and lysine content in their feed.
Fiber
Chickens require adequate fiber in their diets to aid digestion and decrease constipation risk. Insoluble fiber (cellulose or lignin) should make up 3 to 5% of their diet; roughage like this can improve nutrient metabolism by increasing muscular activity in the gizzard and increasing stomach acid production.
Most commercial feed for chickens contains all of the vitamins and minerals they require for optimal health, such as Vitamin A for vision and reproductive issues and calcium, phosphorus, and selenium for good bones and feathers.
Corn-free chicken feed typically consists of high protein ingredients like wheat, peas, soybean meal and sunflower seed that are more easily digested by poultry than corn and also more likely to contain amino acids lysine and tryptophan than usual.
