Healthy chickens lay tasty eggs, and you get healthy chickens from high quality chicken feed. Finding the best feed with the correct nutritional balance is crucial and the specialists at Berger's Agway in Sciota are here to assist you.
Chickens will eat anything from grain to insects, and even animal items depending on how small the pieces are. Additionally, they need a varied variety of nutrients in order to not only lay eggs but lay eggs that are nutritionally dense.
Chick starter and grower feeds are packed with calories, specifically from healthy protein - to help your chicks grow, strengthening their immune systems, and improving their total health. Grower feed is critical for healthy chickens.
Layer feed has a different nutritional structure that includes more calcium to encourage proper egg creation in newly laying chickens.
Flock raiser provides a well balanced nutrition when you have a mixed flock of chickens. It's less complicated to use and still gives fantastic nutrition.
Crumble and pellets are often the key presentation of flock raiser food, as it's simple for chicks and chickens alike to consume and digest.
Shell grit has 2 purposes - one, it helps the gizzard break down food correctly, and two, it adds additional calcium to your chicken's diet. Calcium is essential for proper nutrition regardless, but it's especially important for egg-laying chickens.
Cracked corn isn't a great feed - it's calorie-dense but not big on nutrition. Regardless, it's a nice treat for your chickens, it's quite cheap and in a pinch, it can be used to feed your chickens if you've got absolutely nothing else available.
