There’s nothing quite like collecting a basket of fresh eggs from your own backyard. Whether you have a few hens scratching around the yard or a larger home flock, keeping your chickens well fed is an important part of maintaining healthy, productive birds.
Barastoc Golden Yolk – Everyday Nutrition for Laying Hens
Barastoc Golden Yolk is a complete, balanced pelleted feed formulated specifically for laying birds of all breeds from point of lay onwards. It provides the nutrition hens need to support their health and egg production.
Golden Yolk contains PoultryStar® probiotics and prebiotics, designed to support healthy gut flora, along with vitamin E and selenium. It is also fortified with calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 to provide important building blocks for strong eggshells.
The pellet format also makes feeding simple and can help reduce wastage caused by selective feeding.
Barastoc Grain Mix – Nutrition with a Natural Foraging Feel
If your hens enjoy scratching, pecking and foraging, Barastoc Grain Mix is another option worth considering. It is formulated for laying poultry and contains whole and cracked grains and sunflower seeds to encourage natural foraging behaviour.
The Grain Mix provides 15% protein, along with calcium from fine and coarse shell grit to support bone health and stronger eggshells. It also contains added vitamins and minerals to help support hen health and vitality.
Barastoc recommends that Grain Mix makes up the majority of a hen’s daily feed, with extras such as green scraps, pasture and hay provided only in small amounts. Fresh, clean water should always be available.
