CHF Organic Backyard Layer Mash can be fed to birds at point of lay (18–20 weeks) but can be blended with CHF Chick Starter/Grower from 16 weeks.
Typical feed consumption is between 100g–130g per head per day. The 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 obtain minimal wastage, ensure that the feeder is elevated so the birds can comfortably access the feed, but high enough so they cannot scratch it out onto the ground with their feet. Always ensure that birds have access to clean potable drinking water.
