Layers Pellets

From our local Northamptonshire Mill, Heygates Country Layers pellets provide a complete feed for free range laying birds.

Traditional quality ingredients are used to make a 3mm pellet, calcium is added to provide strong shells together with all the necessary minerals and vitamins for a healthy bird.  To give an attractive yolk colour, pigments extracted from marigold petals are added together with another compound which occurs naturally in the skins of oranges.

Country Layers should be fed ad lib to laying birds. A typical bird will eat between 130 and 140 grammes per day.  If mixed corn or wheat is to be fed then it should be in small quantities in the afternoon. Too much will reduce the bird’s appetite for the layers pellets and they may not get enough protein, minerals and vitamins.  A constant supply of fresh water and grit should be provided.
