Country Heritage Feeds Certified Organic Coarse Layer is formulated for laying birds. (Approx 18 – 20 weeks). For young pullets, it is advisable to begin blending the Organic Coarse Layer with the Organic Chick Starter Grower from around 16 weeks to allow a smooth transition onto the layer feed and to ensure extra calcium is provided to the bird as it matures and begins egg production.
Country Heritage Feeds Coarse Layer is a whole grain ration similar to the old-fashioned “Scratch Mix”. Typical ingredients may include wheat, sorghum, barley, triticale, pearl millet, sunflower seed, mung beans, and corn, and are mixed without any milling process giving it the “whole grain” consistency. The diverse mix of colors gives the feed an appearance similar to muesli making it very appealing to the eye of both the chicken and owner alike.
