Red Hen Pullet Grower is a complete and balanced feed formulated specifically for growing chickens (pullets) from the end of the chick starter phase through to point-of-lay.

Designed to support steady, controlled growth, this feed provides the ideal balance of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals to ensure young birds develop strong bones, healthy body structure, and optimal weight before entering the laying phase.

With lower calcium levels than layer feeds, Red Hen Pullet Grower helps prevent early strain on developing birds while preparing them for a smooth transition into egg production.

Ideal for backyard poultry keepers, hobby farmers, and small-scale producers raising replacement layers.

• Promotes strong bone and skeletal development
• Balanced nutrition for pre-lay conditioning
• Lower calcium than layer feed to protect developing birds
• Helps achieve uniform flock size and maturity
• Prepares birds for optimal egg production later
• Suitable for backyard and commercial flocks
