Organic egg layer pellets have a minimum of 17% protein and are used to help your chickens lay strong healthy eggs. You can start using this feed for hens around 16-20 weeks of age. In some parts of the country, we only offer "Soy-Free" (which is the most preferred organic feed).
This feed is formulated to be used as the only source of food for your egg layers or you may also use it to supplement a pasture-based diet.
A good rule of thumb is that each mature egg layer eats about 2 ½ lb of food per week.
So, if you buy feed every 4 weeks, you will need the following amounts of feed:
Ingredients: Organic corn, organic soybean meal, limestone, organic sun-dried alfalfa, organic flaxseed, monocalcium phosphate, organic kelp meal, diatomaceous earth, Redmond conditioner (clay), Redmond salt, DL methionine, poultry vitamin & mineral premix, organic garlic, organic horseradish, organic anise oil, organic juniper berry
Guaranteed analysis: Crude protein (min 17%), crude fat (4%), crude fiber (max 5%), ash (max 16.8%)
Reminder: Feed is perishable. Store this product in a cool, dry area away from rodents and insects.
Warning: Do not offer any feed that is spoiled, moldy, rodent- or insect-infested, or abnormal in appearance or odor, as it may cause illness or death.
