ORGANIC

Backyard 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).
