WHAT WILL IT PROVIDE MY CHICKEN? We understand that each egg a hen lays depletes her body of protein, energy, calcium and other nutrients. A hen therefore requires a nutritious feed to remain in peak condition and to produce eggs day in and day out for her laying lifetime. A nutritionally balanced layer feed to support hen health and egg production from point of lay onwards. Balanced calcium and phosphorus levels to enable the hen to produce eggs with strong shells. An assortment of cracked and milled ingredients to encourage natural foraging behaviour. FEEDING GUIDE Hens should have continuous access to feed. Do not restrict feed consumption. Self-feeders designed for poultry are a good way to ensure feed is continuously available. Ensure that Barastoc Everyday Layer makes up the majority of the hens’ total daily feed to ensure a balanced diet. Other feeds such as green scraps, pasture and hay may be fed, but only in small amounts. You can expect laying hens to consume 120 grams of feed per bird each day. Ensure your hens have access to clean, fresh water at all times. BALANCED NUTRITION YOUR CHICKENS WILL LOVE WHAT’S IN IT?
