Dietary recommendations for free-range poultry:
For poultry that have the freedom to scavenge outside, where they can find fresh greens and insects, we recommend using this poultry mix as a basic feed, supplemented with chicken grit that should always be available.
It is also recommended to alternately offer additional foods such as seaweed, bokashi, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds or bio-chi for extra vitamins. This combination should provide the nutritional requirements for a healthy life.
Laying meal and laying pellets, which are mainly intended for production animals for quick and high yields of eggs or meat, can be used as a supplementary feed in addition to the grain mix, for instance during winter or moulting periods.
A guideline amount of feed for a 1.5 kg chicken is 50 grams per day, which is sufficient to maintain weight. To produce 1 gram of egg, it is recommended to give 1 gram of extra feed (a normal egg weighs about 50 to 60 grams).
The outside temperature also plays a role in the amount of feed; for every degree Celsius below 25 degrees, it is recommended to feed 1.2 grams extra daily.
However, this is only a guideline; nutritional requirements can vary from one situation to another. Feed as needed and adjust based on conditions.
In winter, when the natural food supply diminishes, some laying pellet can be supplemented if necessary. At lower temperatures, animals consume more energy, so it is wise to increase the fat content of the feed to meet their energy needs.
There is a view that without laying pellets, egg production decreases, but this has not been our experience. With more natural husbandry, there may be a period when the birds lay less, for example during preparation for a moult or change of season. This may lead to a slight decrease in the number of eggs on an annual basis, but contributes to a foundation of health for a long and vital life.
