Understanding Egg Layer Pellets
When you have scruffy chicks, you’ll probably feed them crumble. Our organic chicken layer feed consists of small, soft pieces that are easy to eat. After hens lay their first egg, they’ll need a carefully balanced diet to live a happy and healthy lifestyle — egg layer pellets offer your solution.
What Are Egg Layer Pellets?
Egg layer pellets provide an easy and convenient way to feed hens. Manufacturers mix, warm, and compress the ingredients into cylindrical shapes using a pelletizing machine. The pellets offer a nutritionally complete diet with higher levels of protein and calcium than other poultry feeds.
Do Layer Pellets Help Hens Lay Eggs?
The nutritional balance of layer pellets promotes egg production. The protein helps the hens maintain energy levels, and the calcium provides essential minerals for eggshell formation. Other vitamins can improve the eggshell strength and yolk vibrancy.
Benefits of Organic Layer Feed
Our organic layer pellets offer many advantages, including:
- Boosted health: Egg layer pellets contain the right amount of protein to support beautiful plumage and a consistent egg-laying cycle.
- Nutritional value: The feed provides peace of mind with a balance of protein, calcium, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins.
- Minimized waste: Hens can consume the condensed, hard pellets without leaving crumbs or powdery residue in your feeders.
- Feed efficiency: Increased feed efficiency reduces your environmental footprint throughout the egg production process.

Feeding Guidelines
Our 16% Organic Layer Feed is intended to serve as the sole ration for egg-laying hens. After hens lay their first eggs, we recommend providing about ¼ pound of feed to each bird daily.
Feel free to adjust the amount of pellets you provide based on what’s left in your feeders after your hens eat. Generally, it’s better to provide too much feed than too little. Make sure you also give your flock a fresh, clean supply of water at all times.
Storage and Handling
All of our products have Lot Numbers printed on the bags, which indicate the exact day your feed was made. In warmer climates, our nutrition team recommends using our feed within six months of the production date. The pellets are ideal for up to a year when stored in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight.
To maintain pellet freshness, keep your supply in a sealed container. Store the feed in an elevated location to prevent moisture absorption from the floor. Regularly monitor your storage area and take the appropriate measures to keep your environment pest-free. When handling the feed, use a “first in, first out” rotation to use the oldest feed first.
