My chickens seem to really enjoy this feed. The pellets are good size for them. The feed has oyster shell with vit D. This makes me happy since they have recently dumped their oyster shells out spreading them all over the place. It has probiotics and prebiotics supporting a healthy gut. I need to get a larger bag now that I know they really like it.

My Chickens went right for the food and seemed to enjoy it. The guaranteed analysis is great and there is a good amount of protein in the food. The pellets are also a good size to be easily eaten by the chickens but are solid enough that there is not a lot of waste. It is however, quite a bit more expensive than my normal feed so it is something I will mix in rather than feeding as my sole food.

I’ve been feeding my chickens this for several months now and I’m very pleased with it. The pellets are just the right size. Not too big for my smaller breeds and easy for everyone to peck at. My chickens have stayed consistently active and seem enthusiastic at feeding time which is always a good sign. One thing I appreciate is that the feed doesn’t turn to dust in the feeder and stays fairly firm even if a bit gets wet. I also like that it’s formulated with just the right protein level for laying hens. Their egg production has stayed steady and the shells are nice and strong. I haven’t noticed any odd smells or additives that make the coop unpleasant. The only downside is the 10 lb bag size is fine for a few birds, but if you have a bigger flock you’ll go through it quickly. Still, for the price and quality, I think it’s a good value and something I’ll continue to buy.

Here’s a polished review you can use: ⸻ Review: Purina Chicken Layer Pellets I recently switched my flock to Purina chicken layer pellets, and the results have been excellent. The chickens devoured the feed almost immediately—they clearly love it, and there’s never any waste left in the feeders. Since making the switch, I’ve noticed they are truly thriving: their feathers look healthier, their energy levels are great, and egg production has been strong and consistent. Overall, Purina’s layer pellets have been a fantastic choice for my flock. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a reliable, high-quality feed their chickens will enjoy.

Good layer formula

My hens seem to enjoy this feed just fine. I prefer pellet formulas like this one because they don’t seem to waste as much. I love that this formula contains marigold extract, an additive that really does make a difference in producing nice orange yolks. Overall, the ingredients list looks very well balanced so I am happy with this formula. This feed will go into rotation here for sure. I like to mix it up with a higher omega 3 formula from time to time, just to boost the egg nutrition for us as well. Purina is a trusted brand in my book!

Purina Layena 16% Protein Pellets have been absolutely fantastic for my flock. The hens took to it right away, and I’ve noticed stronger shells, brighter yolks, and steady laying even during times when production usually dips. The pellets are clean, consistent, and easy for the girls to eat with far less waste than crumble. I also love that it includes the essential vitamins, minerals, and oyster shell they need for overall health. My hens look vibrant, their feathers are gorgeous, and they genuinely seem happier on this feed. Highly recommend for any backyard flock owner!

Purina never disappoints. Good ingredients. Chickens always finishes the feed. So it must taste good. Now that winter is around the corner I will mix the layer with cracked corn. Egg production always slows for winter. But what they do lay, taste good fried, sunnyside etc

Hens like it and the price is good

Wanted to wait a bit to see how the girls liked it. They like it! Not sure how much it will affect egg production and shell quality as it is off season for eggs,

Wanted to wait a bit to see how the girls liked it. They like it! Not sure how much it will affect egg production and shell quality as it is off season for eggs, but it seems like it might be helping with the hard molt that they are currently going thru.

Chickens think it is Peck-a-licous

Chickens loved it and gobbled it up. Pellets aren’t too big and easy for them to consume. I have 15 laying hens and I got an extra egg everyday since using it too,
