                       Backyard Vegetarian Layer Mash




                                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).
