📋 Poultry Feeding & Egg Management Guide

Recommended Feeding Allocation:

• Provide ad-libitum access (keep feeders cleanly topped up 24/7). On average, a standard hybrid laying hen will consume between 100g and 150g of pellets per day.
• Ensure birds have continuous access to this feed throughout the daylight hours to match their natural egg-production cycles.

Critical Run Management Guidelines:

1. Feeder Setup: Use suspended, anti-scratch tube feeders to keep the pellets cleanly off the ground. This protects the feed from mud, dampness, and rodent contamination.
2. Hydration is Crucial: An egg is roughly 65% water! Hens cannot manufacture eggs if they run dry. Maintain constant access to clean, cool, fresh drinking water immediately next to their feeding stations.
3. Offer Limestone Grit / Oyster Shell: While Argo Value Layers Pellets are fortified with calcium, providing a secondary side-bowl of oyster shell grit is highly recommended. This allows high-producing hens to self-regulate extra calcium needs for late-night shell building.
4. ⭐ Top Tip: When introducing these pellets to your flock, mix them into your previous feed gradually over a 7 to 10-day period. This smooth transition protects their sensitive digestive tracts and keeps them feeding confidently without stalling.
