· Natural Grains / Oil Seed – varies the texture and flavors to layers
· Selgrit – Assists in shell production and strength

General Information
· Intake varies from 95 grams – 140 grams per day depending on bird health & breed, light hours, housing, climate conditions and water quality & supply
· Feeding hens to production is important to maximise bird health, egg production & yoke colour
· Adlib access to Shell Grit is strongly advised
· Fresh, clean water to be accessible at all times
· Greens can be fed in conjunction with this grain mix
· Older Hybrid hens (>2 years) egg production will decline rapidly due to aging
· The Nutri Pellet is a key part of the diet, by nature your birds will naturally select the yummier parts “The Lollies” of the diet first and possibly leave the Nutri Pellet to last, hence we would suggest daily feed allocation to increase the uptake of this part of the diet, this is often referred to “Hard Love”
