Poultry Feed FAQs
What's the difference between crumble and pellet feed?
Crumble feed is crushed into smaller, loose pieces, which some birds find easier to eat, while pellet feed is compressed into a solid shape that can reduce waste and picking through the feed. Both offer similar nutrition, so the choice often comes down to your birds' preference.
Do I need to switch feed as my chickens get older?
Yes. Chicks typically start on a starter or starter-grower feed, then transition to a layer feed once they're old enough to begin laying eggs, usually around 18 to 20 weeks. Layer feed contains added calcium to support strong eggshells that younger birds don't yet need.
What is grit and oyster shell used for?
Grit helps birds break down and digest their food, since chickens don't have teeth, while oyster shell provides extra calcium to support strong eggshell production. Both are common additions to a flock's diet alongside their regular feed.
