FAQs

How long will a bag of pellets last?

The duration depends on the size of the bag and the size of your flock. Refer to the feeding guidelines for your flock size and calculate accordingly. A 20kg bag will last longer than a 5kg bag.

Can I feed this to my chicks?

No, these pellets are specifically formulated for laying hens and other adult poultry. You should provide a starter feed for chicks.

Where should I store the feed?

Store the feed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container is recommended.

Is this feed suitable for all breeds of chickens?

Yes, it is suitable for a variety of laying hen breeds, as well as ducks, geese, and bantams.

How often should I clean the feeders?

Clean feeders regularly to prevent contamination and maintain freshness, ideally every few days. Discard old, wet food to avoid mold growth.

What if my birds don't like the pellets?

Introduce the new feed gradually, mixing it with their existing feed. Ensure there's enough fresh water available, and consider offering treats.

Can I use this feed with other supplements?

Yes, but be cautious of over-supplementation. Ensure the pellets form the majority of their diet and consult with a vet or poultry expert before adding supplements.

Troubleshooting

Reduced egg production.

Ensure the hens are receiving the correct amount of feed (approximately 120g per day), check for any other underlying health issues, and ensure access to fresh water.

Feed appears stale or moldy.

Check the storage conditions. Replace the feed with a fresh bag and ensure proper storage (cool, dry place, airtight container).

Birds are not eating the feed.

Gradually introduce the feed by mixing it with the current food. Check that fresh water is available.
