Fancy Feeds declare 16% protein, 3% oil, 5% fibre and 12% ash — and it is that ash figure that tells you what a layers feed really is, because most of it is the calcium carbonate a hen turns into eggshell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is pelleted rather than left as a meal, so birds cannot sort through it and leave the fortification behind in the feeder. Marigold and paprika extract are included as a natural yolk pigment, and Sel-Plex organic selenium as it is across the Fancy Feeds poultry range. The 20kg sack is the standard unit for anything past a handful of birds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFancy Feeds declare 16% protein, 3% oil, 5% fibre and 12% ash.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCalcium carbonate sits fourth in the ingredient declaration, which is where the shell calcium comes from.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePelleted, so the vitamin and mineral fortification goes in with every mouthful instead of being picked around.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMarigold and paprika extract included as a natural yolk pigment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSel-Plex organic selenium, as used across the Fancy Feeds poultry range.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuits hens, ducks, geese and bantams from point of lay, so one sack covers a mixed flock.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaying hens from point of lay, which Fancy Feeds put at 18–21 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaying ducks, geese and bantams.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree range, garden and housed flocks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeepers who want one complete ration rather than a mix of feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNot for chicks or growing birds — Fancy Feeds Chick Crumb at 19% protein and then Growers Pellets at 15.5% take a bird up to point of lay.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeed as the complete diet, ad lib from a hopper or feeder.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMove birds across from grower pellets at 18–21 weeks, the changeover Fancy Feeds specify.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo not mix grain or mixed corn through it.
