To breed the best, we feed the best.
For optimum health and performance, chickens need a high quality diet with plenty of meat based protein. Aside from your own personal dietary choices, chickens are omnivores, not vegetarians and a diet based entirely on vegetable protein will cause deficiencies affecting growth and muscle development, egg production, feather growth, fertility and the overall health of your birds. You cannot expect your birds to thrive if fed merely on kitchen scraps and left to forage.
Most poultry feeds contain mainly soy and vegetable proteins to keep costs down. Although the bag reads "Contains or may contain ruminent protein," this does not necessarily mean the feed contains animal protein. At certain times of the year, depending on availability and cost, the animal protein content in many feeds may be completely substituted with vegetable based protein. Weston Milling feeds contain meat, blood and bone meal, so are very high in essential animal protein. Heavy breeds in particular, require a high protein diet to maintain muscle and strength in the legs.
In our opinion this is seriously good feed and is the best we have ever used. We no longer need to give out supplementary grains, thus saving us money, the chooks love it and we can be confident all their nutritional needs are being met. Since switching to Weston's Peak Layer, within one week we observed a 50% increase in laying and by two weeks laying was double what it was prior to introducing this feed. Our birds' feathers became more glossy and sleek and the yolks were bright orange. Everyone who has bought our feed has come back for more with very enthusiastic feedback on their astonishing results.
Ingredients: wheat, barley, triticale, wheat by-products, soya meal, peas, lupins, meat and bone meal, blood meal, lime, tallow, dicalcium phosphate, salt, yolk colouring, vitamins and minerals.
Do not feed to horses, dogs, sheep, cattle or other ruminant animals.
We recommend you pick up a bag or two when collecting your birds, to keep them on the same feed they have been accustomed to. Our feeds are supplied in 25kg bags, but we are happy to weigh out 10kg part-bags.
Because of the costs and packaging involved, we do not ship sacks of feed. PICK UP ONLY.
