We understand that each egg a hen lays depletes her body of protein, energy, calcium and other nutrients. A highly nutritious feed will keep the laying birds in your home flock in peak condition and enable them to produce more eggs, more often. A higher protein level to help your bird achieve her laying potential. Added fine and coarse limestone particles to support the development of strong eggshells. Finely milled ingredients are pressed into a pellet for ease of feeding and to decrease wastage caused by selective feeding. 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 continually available. Ensure that Barastoc Champion 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 that your hens have access to clean, fresh water at all times. WHAT’S IN IT?
