                       Backyard Soy Free Layer Pellet




                                 DESCRIPTION

                                 CHF Organic Chick Starter Grower Mash is a broad spectrum
                                 ration specially formulated for chicks, pullets and meat birds.
                                 Formulated using certified organic grains and protein meals; the
                                 CHF Organic Chick Starter Grower Mash is free from all forms of
                                 medications that may be found in other starter feeds.
                                 APPLICATION

                                 LAYING HENS
                                 Unlike other starter feeds, the uniquely diverse nature of this
                                 ration negates the need to change diets from a starter to a grower
                                 (pullet grower) part way through the growing cycle. This therefore
                                 avoids waste and the expense of a separate feed, as it can be fed
                                 to day old chicks through to point of lay hens (Approx. 18-20
                                 weeks) or slaughter for broilers.  (Approx. 10 - 12 weeks)It is
                                 important to ensure your chicks have free access to feed and
                                 water and are protected from any harsh environmental conditions.
                                 For very young birds it is necessary to keep them warm with a
                                 specialised heater lamp (or light), especially during the colder
                                 months. For laying pullets it is also advisable to begin blending the
                                 CHF Organic Chick Starter Grower Mash with your preferred CHF
                                 Layer ration at 16 weeks of age. This will provide the extra calcium
                                 and nutrients to assist with egg production.

                                 MEAT BIRDS
                                 The CHF Organic Chick Starter Grower Mash is equally adaptable
                                 when feeding meat birds, once again avoiding the need to swap to
                                 a grower ration during the growth cycle; allowing the same feed to
                                 be fed until slaughter. (Approx. 12 weeks).
