Great high protein layer feed for adult hens

This chicken layer feed is great for adult birds! 19% layer feed is most likely higher than you’re easily going to find locally. It is pellets, not crumbles, so it is not messy or dusty. The protein content in this layer feed is super important for healthy eggs with strong shells. The immunity boost is always a plus too. Putting this on auto ship ASAP! I have 6 hens who free graze and 1 ten-lb bag lasts me 8-10 days.

Layena brings all the girls to the yard!

All our poultry come running when Layena is in the feed bowl. Our hens dull coat of winter is now healhy looking. They look like Spring hens again. It’s winter in KY but after a week of feeding Layena, we have noticed that egg production is starting to pick back up. That is so exciting! Our chickens, ducks and turkeys love this feed and are thriving.

My chickens had absolutely no interest in this food. They would not eat it at all. I loved that it was higher protein and figured it would be good for the colder months. I gave it to my mom and her chickens ate it without issue! I guess it just depends how picky your girls are!

I love feeding my flock extra protein in the winter/colder months. This high protein feed is right up our alley! My flock loved this food and coincidence or not, I had 2 more eggs than usual for the 2 weeks in a row after using it! Nice, hard shells, golden yolks. Cant beat it!

Chickens love this feed

We’ve tried many many chicken feeds over the past few years of owning layer chickens, both expensive and inexpensive. Our chickens love this feed and run for it

We’ve tried many many chicken feeds over the past few years of owning layer chickens, both expensive and inexpensive. Our chickens love this feed and run for it as soon as we come to feed them. It is an overall great feed for backyard chickens.

Protein Important for the Hens

It is cold here in NY - my girls have not laid an egg since the beginning of November. It is now January. Now I can’t say for sure, but 3 days after starting this

It is cold here in NY - my girls have not laid an egg since the beginning of November. It is now January. Now I can’t say for sure, but 3 days after starting this Layena feed, one of the girls laid an egg! This is pretty awesome and I appreciate it. They definitely like the feed.

Happy Flock

I fed the chickens in a seperate feeder. They seemed to ignore it for a day or so. They have not been eating a lot with the cold weather. Egg production has decreased

Chickens love this food

I tried offering a different, "organic", textured feed, and they treated it like poison. Our chickens thrive on Layena and give us beautiful, large, clean eggs.

Great food for our flock!

This chicken pellet food is packed full of nutrients that my chickens love pecking and eating. We have noticed stronger egg shells and brighter feathers.
