Every bite carries the protein, calcium, vitamins, and trace minerals a working hen needs to hold her condition, build sturdy shells, and keep filling the nest box. Choose the crumble for smaller birds and mixed flocks, or the pellet to cut down on billing out and feeder waste. Both come in the same fifty pound bag, so you can switch textures without changing what your birds are eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16% Protein:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports steady egg production, body condition, and feather quality in mature laying hens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdded Calcium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps hens build strong shells and protect their own bone reserves through a long laying cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Ration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed it as the sole diet – no mixing, grinding, or extra supplementing required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Textures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crumble suits smaller birds and bantams, while the pellet stays in the feeder instead of on the ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced Fortification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamins and trace minerals round out the ration and support day to day flock health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milled to the same specification bag after bag, so your birds are not adjusting to a new feed every month.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackyard and Barn Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e One fifty pound bag feeds a small home flock for weeks and stacks easily in the feed room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart feeding at roughly eighteen weeks of age, or as soon as the first eggs appear, and offer it free choice so hens can eat to appetite. A typical laying hen eats close to a quarter pound each day, with intake rising in cold weather and easing off in summer heat. Move birds over from a starter or grower feed gradually across seven to ten days, blending a little more layer into the old feed each day so nobody goes off feed. Keep clean, fresh water in front of the flock at all times, offer free choice grit to birds that range, and store the bag closed in a cool, dry spot up off the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Blue Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: Chickens, laying hens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed Form: Crumble or Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtein: 16%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag Size: 50 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop by Garoppo's Stone \u0026amp; Garden Center and Feed \u0026amp; Pet Supply to pick up a bag, or schedule local delivery within our service area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent","offers":[{"title":"Crumble \/ 50 LB","offer_id":56036350034212,"sku":"41129","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pellet \/ 50 LB","offer_id":56036350066980,"sku":"41128","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/blue-seal-16-layer-chicken-feed","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
