Provide Commercial Layer Feed as Staple

Solution

Feed a commercially formulated layer feed appropriate for their age as the main part of their diet (90%).

Explanation

Commercial feeds are scientifically balanced to provide the correct levels of protein, calcium, vitamins, and minerals needed for health and egg production. Layer feed (typically 16% protein) has added calcium for strong eggshells.

Notes

Choose crumble or pellet form. Ensure it's appropriate for laying hens (usually started around 18 weeks).
