Red Hen Layer is a complete and balanced feed designed specifically for laying hens from point-of-lay through to peak and ongoing egg production. Formulated with the ideal balance of protein, energy, vitamins, and elevated calcium, it supports consistent egg laying, strong shell formation, and long-term hen health.

This premium layer ration ensures hens receive everything they need to maintain high productivity without compromising body condition. The pellet form reduces waste and ensures uniform nutrient intake across the flock, making it ideal for backyard flocks, hobby farmers, and commercial layer systems.

Red Hen Layer helps support daily egg production, fertility support (for breeding flocks), and overall flock vitality.
