Heygates Oyster Shell 25kg

Brand: Heygates
SKU: 3758
Since poultry have no teeth they have evolved to peck grit which helps to grind their food in the gizzard. Flint grit should always be available (in a separate container to the feed) so the birds can help themselves.

Since poultry have no teeth they have evolved to peck grit which helps to grind their food in the gizzard. Flint grit should always be available (in a separate container to the feed) so the birds can help themselves.
As well as flint grit, oystershell and limestone grit are also commonly fed. These are a source of calcium to provide strong shells. Heygates feeds have sufficient added limestone for birds which are fed ad-lib pellets or meal but it is recommended that flint grit is always available.
 A supply of flint grit is important in helping to prevent Impaction problems (see below).
The easiest way to make sure all the grit requirements are met is to have mixed poultry grit accessible to your birds. This product is a mixture of flint grit, limestone grit and oystershell grit.

Heygates Layers Pellets 20kg

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.
