Organic Backyard Layer Pellets – Balanced, Natural & Certified Organic


Provide your flock with wholesome nutrition using Organic Backyard Layer Pellets — a complete pellet feed specially formulated for backyard laying hens. This feed delivers balanced nutrition to support hen health, egg quality, and consistent laying. In addition, the pellet form ensures each hen gets the same nutrients, avoiding selective feeding and waste.


Product Characteristics

Organic Backyard Layer Pellets are made from finely milled, certified-organic grains and plant protein meals, then pressed into uniform pellets. Typical grains include wheat, sorghum, barley, pearl millet and corn. Furthermore, the feed may contain organic protein meals such as soybean meal, safflower meal, sunflower meal (and in non–soy versions, alternative plant-based protein sources), along with essential vitamins and minerals. The feed comes in a convenient 20 kg bag — ideal for small farms or backyard flocks.


Health & Production Benefits

Feeding your hens these pellets supports good health, strong eggshells and vibrant, rich yolks. The balanced protein, mineral, calcium and vitamin content keeps hens healthy and productive through laying cycles. As a result, you get consistent egg production and improved egg quality.


Certified Organic & Clean Formulation

These pellets are certified organic — free from synthetic chemicals, GMOs and artificial additives. Because all grains and protein meals are organically grown and processed, you can trust that your flock gets natural nutrition aligned with organic farming practices.


Feeding & Storage Instructions

Feed from point of lay (approx. 18–20 weeks). You may blend with a starter or grower feed from 16 weeks to help transition your pullets.  Provide approx. 120–140 g per hen per day, or offer ad lib (free-choice) so hens regulate intake naturally. Store pellets in a cool, dry place, sealed to protect from moisture, pests and spoilage.


Typical Uses & Feeding Suggestions

Serve pellets daily as the main feed for laying hens. Additionally, you can supplement with occasional kitchen scrapings, garden greens, or pasture access — but pellets should remain the primary feed for egg consistency and health. For hens kept in coops or small runs, the uniform pellets minimise selective feeding and wastage, ensuring each bird gets balanced nutrition.

Ingredients

Certified organic cereals (e.g., wheat, sorghum, barley, pearl millet, corn), certified organic plant protein meals (e.g., soybean meal, safflower meal, sunflower meal), essential vitamins and mineral premix (including calcium and phosphorus), salt, and other necessary nutrients for layers.
