Great all around layer food

**Bib and Bob.. the ingredients are right under the *NUTRIENTS* tab.. This feed is perfect for our hens (about 100). Full of everything they need to help them lay beautiful eggs with a healthy, strong shell.

Nice to Have a Non-Vegetarian Option

I wanted to provide my hens a feed that contained some sort of insect protein, and it's difficult to find feeds that aren't vegetarian, so it's nice to have this option. My hens seem to like it and if anything I've only noticed a positive impact on their laying.
