Allen & Page Super Mixed Corn Small Holder Feed, 5kg

Allen & Page Super Mixed Corn – 5kg

A step up from plain mixed corn: wheat and non-GM maize with peas added for protein, plus calcium granules and hen grit. Those last two are what make it "super" — the limestone supports eggshell strength and the grit helps birds grind their food, both things a plain corn treat does nothing for.

At 1.25% calcium it carries roughly thirty times the calcium of standard mixed corn, which makes it a rather more sensible thing to be scattering for a laying flock. The 5kg bag suits a small back garden flock.

Performance & Benefits

• Nutritious treat that complements rather than replaces the main feed.
• Peas add protein alongside the wheat and maize.
• Calcium granules at 1.25% support strong eggshells.
• Hen grit aids digestion by helping break down food naturally.
• Non-GM, source-identity preserved ingredients.
• Encourages natural foraging when scattered.
• 5kg bag suits a small flock.

Suitable For

• Laying hens as an afternoon treat.
• Back garden flocks of a few birds.
• Flocks needing extra calcium support for shell quality.
• Birds needing enrichment and occupation.

Feeding

• Feed as an afternoon treat after hens have had their main feed.
• Keep to a modest handful per bird rather than filling the feeder.
• Provide constant access to fresh water.
