FEEDING GUIDE
Ensure birds have continuous access to feed – do not restrict consumption. Expected adult feed intakes are 130g/bird/day.

Self-feeders designed for poultry are a good way to ensure feed is continuously available.

Ensure that birds have access to clean, fresh water at all times.

Ensure that Barastoc Grains and Greens makes up the majority of the hens daily feed to ensure a balanced diet. Other feeds such as green scraps, pasture and hay may be fed, but only in small amounts.

Feed BARASTOC GRAINS & GREENS as a complete grain and vegetable supplement to poultry, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys. Provide 30-40g per bird daily as part of a balanced diet, adjusting quantities based on bird size and production level. Scatter feed on the ground or in feeders, ensuring all birds have access to fresh water at all times. Store in a cool, dry location and use within 8 weeks of opening the bag for optimal nutritional value. Tips: Mix with your existing grain ration gradually over 7-10 days to allow birds to adjust to the new feed. During hot SE Queensland summers, feed during cooler morning and evening hours to encourage better consumption. Monitor bird condition and egg production weekly, adjusting feed quantities if needed to maintain optimal health and productivity.
