Just as humans’ nutritional needs change from infancy to adulthood, backyard birds require different nutrients as they grow from baby chicks into hens or roosters. Chickens require 38 unique nutrients each day to start strong, lay strong and stay strong. Our complete layer feed provides the right balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals your backyard hens need.

Raising peacocks, pheasants, quail and other game birds can provide farm fresh eggs and meat, as well as colorful feathers and unique companionship.
Hens can lay eggs in shades of blue, green and even pink. The Oyster Strong® System is included in Purina® layer feeds to help hens lay eggs with strong, protective shells.
Most hens will lay their first egg around 18 weeks of age and then lay an egg almost daily thereafter. Learn more about egg counts and what to expect from laying hens.
