Chick Starter
A high protein starter crumble for day old chicks and young birds, supporting strong early growth before they move onto grower feed.
Pullet Grower
A grower pellet for pullets moving on from starter feed, balancing protein and energy as birds develop toward point of lay.
Layer Feed
A complete layer pellet with added calcium, formulated to support strong eggshells and consistent egg production in laying hens.
Meat Bird Feed
A higher energy pellet for meat bird breeds, supporting fast, healthy growth through to processing weight.
Starter, Grower, Layer or Meat Bird | Which Feed Does Your Flock Need?
The right feed depends on your birds' age and purpose. Day old chicks need a starter crumble, pullets move onto a grower pellet as they mature, laying hens do best on a calcium enriched layer feed, and meat bird breeds need a higher energy finisher to reach weight. Ask our team if you're not sure which stage your flock is at.

Frequently Asked Questions About Poultry Feed
What feed should I give day old chicks?+
Day old chicks need a chick starter crumble, a high protein feed formulated to support their early growth before they move onto a grower or layer pellet.
When should I switch my pullets from grower to layer feed?+
Most keepers switch to a layer pellet once pullets are close to point of lay, usually around 16-18 weeks, since layer feed contains calcium that starter and grower feeds don't.
What's the difference between layer and meat bird feed?+
Layer feed is formulated with added calcium to support egg production, while meat bird feed is higher in energy and protein to support fast growth to processing weight.
Can I feed grain instead of pellets?+
Grain can supplement a diet but shouldn't replace a complete pellet feed on its own, since pellets are formulated with vitamins and minerals grain alone doesn't provide.
Do you stock feed for gamebirds and show birds?+
Yes, we stock dedicated gamebird and ShowBird breeder lines alongside our standard poultry feed range.
