Organic Layer Feed 18% is a bountiful blend formulated to nourish laying ladies. Made with raw whole grains, vitamins, minerals and an extra protein boost, this mash formula provides exceptional support during molting season and those months of low egg production. Whether fed dry or fermented, year-round or seasonally, this feed will keep those feathers fluffy and the eggs-a-comin’!
When do I choose 18% protein over 16% protein feed?
Higher protein feeds can be a great option during the winter when your flock is foraging less or losing feathers, aka molting. Did you know feathers contain over 80% protein? It takes a lot of extra protein and energy to grow! Additional protein feeds can also be a good alternative when birds are under stress, such as during the integration of new chickens into a flock. Choosing a 16% or 18% feed depends on what works best for you and your flock.

Feeding Guidelines
Your hens should be approaching their full grown size at approximately 20 weeks of age. Begin introducing Naturally Free Organic Layer 18% gradually to allow for a slow adjustment to the new feed formula. This is more important when switching from a different type of feed such as crumbles or pellets as your chickens may not immediately know how to consume a mash style feed.
Refill feeders only after all feed has been consumed (til they “clean up their plates”). Trough feeders provide the best access to our whole grain feeds. Be sure to offer fresh water, plenty of Cluckin’ Good Layer Grit and you can begin to supplement oyster shell at this age.
You can also boost the nutrients by fermenting your flock’s feed.
