Organic Chicken Feeds, Organic Backyard Layer Pellets (Certified to AS600 by Australian Certified Organic 10607)

Organic Backyard Layer Pellets by Country Heritage Feeds are a blend of certified organic grains that are finely milled and then pressed into pellets, offering a consistent, nutritionally balanced diet ideal for backyard laying chickens. Typical ingredients may include certified organic cereals such as wheat, sorghum, barley, pearl millet and corn. The feed also contains certified organic vegetable protein meals, such as soybean meal, safflower meal, and sunflower meal, as well as fishmeal, meat meal, and other essential vitamins and minerals.

Hot Tip: The benefit of pellets is that they provide nutrition more uniformly, as they prevent chickens from picking and choosing as they sometimes do with whole coarse grains. Pellets have the same complete nutrition in each pellet, so they will always get all the needed nutrients.

ApplicationĀ - Formulated to exact high specifications as the CHF Organic Backyard Layer Mash, this pellet ration provides birds with all the essential vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain good health and promote consistently strong, shelled, vibrant eggs.

Feed Directions - This Organic Chicken Feed can be fed to birds at the point of lay (18-20 weeks), but it can also be blended with CHF Chick Starter/Grower from 16 weeks.

Typical feed consumption for backyard laying hens is between 120g and 140g per head per day. Feed 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 minimise wastage, ensure the feeder is elevated so birds can comfortably access the feed, but high enough that they cannot scratch it out onto the ground with their feet. Always ensure that birds have access to clean potable drinking water.

Q&A:

Q. Have you got an ingredients list for these poultry pellets?

A. A complete ingredient list is not available for any of the organic feeds by Country Heritage Feeds. These recipes are a closely guarded secret of the manufacturer. This helps prevent others from copying their great feeds.

Q. Are all the ingredients in this organic Chicken Feed certified organic?

A. The ingredients are all certified organic except the meat meal ingredient. This ingredient is made from non-certified organic meat sources; however, it is still permitted under BFA organic regulations because it falls within the allowable percentage of non-organic ingredients. For those concerned, you may want to consider one of our organic, vegetarian feeds.Ā 

Q. Does this feed contain any chicken by-products?

A. Currently, this feed does not contain any chicken by-products (11/10/14)Ā
