Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What breeds of chicken is this feed suitable for?
A: This feed is suitable for all adult laying hen breeds, including popular backyard varieties such as Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpingtons, Leghorns, Silkies, and hybrid layers. It is designed for general adult poultry rather than chicks or growers.

Q: Why is oyster shell added to chicken feed?
A: Oyster shell is a natural source of calcium, which is essential for laying hens to produce strong, well-formed eggshells. Without adequate calcium, hens may lay thin-shelled or soft eggs. The extra oyster shell in this feed helps ensure your hens have the calcium they need daily.

Q: How much should I feed my chickens per day?
A: As a general guide, adult laying hens consume approximately 100–150g of feed per day. Adjust quantities based on the size of your flock, their activity level, and any supplementary foraging they do. Always ensure fresh water is available alongside feed.

Q: Can I use this feed for other poultry such as ducks or geese?
A: This feed is formulated primarily for chickens and laying hens. While other poultry may consume it, we recommend consulting a poultry nutrition specialist before using it as the primary feed for ducks, geese, or turkeys, as their nutritional requirements differ.

Q: Does this make a good gift for a chicken keeper or smallholder?
A: Yes — it's a practical and thoughtful gift for anyone who keeps backyard chickens or runs a small smallholding. It pairs well with other poultry keeper supplies for a complete gift set.

Q: How should I store this chicken feed?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use an airtight container or sealed bin to keep the feed fresh and prevent pests. Always check the best-before date on the packaging.
