Purina® Layena® Plus Omega-3

Purina® Layena® Omega-3 feed includes all 38 nutrients hens need with added omega-3. With Layena® Omega-3 feed, hens can produce eggs with more omega-3 fatty acids than store-bought eggs.2

Purina® Layena® Omega-3 pellets are a complete feed for laying hens 18 weeks and older to support optimal hen health and consistent egg production with added omega-3 fatty acids. Purina® Layena® Omega-3 includes the Oyster Strong® System for strong shells.
 
Purina® Oyster Strong® System with oyster shell provides another source of calcium when the hens need it most. Oyster shell is a larger particle size than limestone. This means that oyster shell will stay in the digestive tract longer and will provide a source of calcium for egg shell production over a longer period of time than smaller particle sources of calcium. This is especially important at night when egg shell formation is rapidly occurring and dietary sources of calcium are limited because the bird is not eating.
 


2 When fed a diet of Layena® Omega-3 exclusively for at least 3 weeks. Based on large egg (56g). Results
may vary with factors such as total diet and hen health. Compared to a typical egg that contains
50mg omega-3 fatty acids.

      Description

      2. Purina® Layena® Plus Omega-3 pellets should only be fed to chickens that are laying eggs. 
      3. Always provide shelter and a constant supply of fresh, clean water.
      4. Consumption will vary depending upon season of the year, nutritional needs of the animals and availability of other foods.

      Caution

      Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death.

      Important

      A feeding program is only as effective as the management practices. Actual results can vary depending upon feed intake, environmental conditions and the quality of management practices.

My girls love this food!

Great food for the hens. They are healthy and seem to enjoy life. I have fed my animals Purina for the past twenty years, I am never disappointed. I wish the yolks were a little more golden but I do not think the chickens really care.

Great feed!

I just started my chickens on this and went from getting 1-2 eggs a day to 4-6! I was using a local non gmo mix before and my girls feathers, egg laying and attitudes declined. My flock has been on this for just over a week and I’m so glad I made the switch!

The girls love this feed!

My 4 chickens love this feed. The eggs that come from these girls are amazing! They love it and the eggs we get are amazing.

Egg shells are thicker and colors are brighter

I switched to purina from another brand and the egg shells are thicker and don’t have to add oyster shells like I had to with the other pellets. And my hens look healthier. I have 50+ hens.
