WHAT WILL IT PROVIDE MY CHICKEN? We understand your desire to provide a meat-free alternative to your chickens without compromising their health and wellbeing. We have developed Barastoc Darling Downs as a complete vegetarian feed specifically formulated using only high quality plant and vegetable based ingredients. A nutritious, complete and balanced premium feed to support hen health and egg production from point of lay onwards. A vegetarian blend of whole and cracked grains and sunflower seeds to encourage natural foraging behaviour. A nutrient rich pellet has been included to ensure the bird’s diet has all the vitamins and minerals it needs, naturally. 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 Darling Downs 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 130 grams of feed per bird each day. Ensure your hens have access to clean, fresh water at all times. 100% VEGETARIAN GOODNESS WHAT’S IN IT?
