Argo Chick Grower Pellets

Bridge the gap between early brooding and adult egg-laying seamlessly with Argo Chick Grower Pellets. Specially engineered by traditional nutritionists for adolescent poultry, this premium-grade rearing feed is designed to be fed from 6 to 8 weeks of age right up to the point of lay. It is suitable for all breeds of chickens, ducks, geese, and heritage utility poultry.

Adolescent birds require highly specific structural energy lines to develop robust bones, strong internal organs, and thick adult plumage without forcing premature egg production. Argo addresses this by delivering a completely balanced 17% crude protein ration made from wholesome grains, GM-sourced soya, and nutrient-dense dried grass. Milled into a specialised, easy-to-manage mini pellet size, it naturally reduces waste around the run and ensures uniform nutrient consumption across the entire flock. 100% medication-free, it provides a safe, natural pathway to rearing highly productive, healthy adult layers.

📋 Poultry Feeding & Pullet Management Guide

Recommended Feeding Allocation:

• Provide ad-libitum access (keep feeders cleanly topped up 24/7) from 6 weeks of age.
• Transition birds onto Argo Golden Yolk Layer Pellets or Meal as soon as they reach point-of-lay thresholds (typically between 18 and 22 weeks of age, or when the first small eggs appear).

Critical Run Management Guidelines:

1. Keep it Off the Floor: Avoid scattering grower pellets onto loose bedding. Use designated, anti-scratch tube feeders suspended at the level of the birds' backs to keep the feed pristine.
2. Hydration Is Key: Growing pullets have active metabolisms and require clean, cool, fresh drinking water near their feeders at all times.
3. Offer the Right Grit: While on grower pellets, provide your young birds with small-sized poultry grower flint grit to assist their gizzard in breaking down fibers. Avoid high-calcium oyster shell grit until they are actively laying eggs.
4. ⭐ Top Tip: Waterfowl (such as young ducks and geese) can transition onto these mini-pellets beautifully at 6 weeks. Because ducks don't have crops like chickens, always place their water fount right next to the pellet feeder so they can easily moisten their food as they swallow!
