This feed is a winner in my coop. My chickens have always preferred crumbles over pellets, but crumbles can get messy. These "Pearls" are fantastic because they are small enough for the hens to enjoy (just like crumbles) but much cleaner to handle (like pellets). My girls seem to really enjoy them, and I love the lack of waste.

Overall balanced layer feed

It's not a plus to say that my chickens liked this feed, because they will eat anything. I must then rely on the labeling to tell me the benefits of this brand

It's not a plus to say that my chickens liked this feed, because they will eat anything. I must then rely on the labeling to tell me the benefits of this brand. I will start by saying that this feed is pelleted, which reduces waste, a plus. 16% protein is good for laying hens. One ingredient that is of great importance is calcium for hard shell formation and to replenish that in the hens. I normally have free choice ground oyster shells available to my hens at all times (they will take it if they need it). This formula has that included so there would be no need for a supply of oyster shells on the side. I have a mixed flock which means that I have a rooster and some hens that are 7+yrs and aren't laying anymore. Those members don't need the extra calcium and in some cases it may not be good to have. Comparing the ingredients, my conclusion is that it is a great feed for a young laying flock because it has the calcium, and probiotics and antioxidants. This would keep a flock happy and healthy.

Premium feed!

This is premium chicken feed! I love that it has oyster shell in it so I don't have to provide it separately, and is full of other vitamins to ensure my flock stays

This is premium chicken feed! I love that it has oyster shell in it so I don't have to provide it separately, and is full of other vitamins to ensure my flock stays healthy. The feed texture is more crumbly as opposed to hard pellets. My girls love this.

Top quality feed for healthier chickens

Layena 16% pellets is the perfect food for adult laying hens in Maine. The difference is the added calcium and vitamins to keep them going during the dark and cold

Layena 16% pellets is the perfect food for adult laying hens in Maine. The difference is the added calcium and vitamins to keep them going during the dark and cold months and stay healthy. Also it's less waste than crumble and it helps the chicken create a stronger egg shell. Purina really does know what they are doing when it comes to chicken care.

Good size, texture, and shape for all breeds .

Good size and shape pearls for all chicken breeds including bantams. Also excellent for those with beak abnormalities as they are still able to grasp feed. Smells

Good size and shape pearls for all chicken breeds including bantams. Also excellent for those with beak abnormalities as they are still able to grasp feed. Smells great and birds like it. Too early to tell how this feed affects egg laying.
