Does this have oyster shells or adequate calcium in the mix? (Can the calcium be picked out as in oyster shells mixed with the product or is it blended?)

Answer by ChewyAug 28, 2019
This food contains approximately 3.5%-4.5% Calcium content. It may be fed as a sole ration on a free choice basis to laying hens. On average, you can expect layer hens to consume about 1/4 pound per day. Roosters can be fed the same as hens. Always provide shelter and a continuous supply of fresh, clean water. Full nutritional benefits will take effect in your chickens and their eggs after 10 days of feeding Eggland’s Best Chicken Food as their sole ration.

When searching for Non GMO chicken feed, I received this as one of my results but I did not see it anywhere on the bag contents. Is this Non GMO feed?

Answer by ChewyNov 12, 2019
This product is not compliant with the Non-GMO Project Verified standards. The manufacturer offers a similar product, the "Eggland's Best Organic Layer Mini-Pellets Chicken Food", which is Non-GMO.

My hens absolutely love this feed. Their feathers are soft and pretty. The eggs have hard shells with bright yellow/golden yolks with healthy whites. I soak the pellets overnight to lessen food getting tossed on the ground. This prevents loss and decreases the expense of the feed. I have tried other brands and do not get the quality eggs and healthy chickens that this feeds provides.
