Feed directions
Backyard Layer No Added Gluten or Soy feed is formulated for laying birds (approx. 18–20 weeks). It is advisable to blend layer feed with CHF Organic Chicken Starter Grower feed from 16 weeks to assist with the transition onto the layer feed.
Typical feed consumption for a backyard laying hen fed on the Backyard Layer No Added Gluten or Soy feed is between 100g–130g per head per day and is best provided ad lib as the birds naturally regulate their consumption according to their energy requirements. A specially designed self-feeder is the most suitable method of doing this. To obtain minimal wastage, ensure that the feeder is elevated so the birds can comfortably access the feed, but high enough so they cannot scratch it onto the ground with their feet. Always ensure that birds have access to clean potable drinking water.
