Vella Free Range Layer Pellets 20kg is a complete, nutritionally balanced feed formulated specifically for laying hens, ducks, and mature poultry from point of lay (approximately 18–20 weeks of age). Designed to support consistent egg production, strong shell quality, and overall flock health, this pellet provides all the essential nutrients required for productive laying birds.

This high-quality layer feed delivers a carefully balanced level of protein, energy, calcium, and phosphorus to support daily egg formation and maintain healthy bone structure. The elevated calcium content is essential for strong eggshell development, while the protein and amino acid profile helps maintain body condition and ongoing egg output.

Vella Free Range Layer Pellets are suitable for both backyard flocks and free-range systems, offering a reliable and convenient feeding solution. The pelleted form helps reduce waste, improve intake consistency, and ensure each bird receives a balanced ration with every feed.

Formulated with Australian cereal grains, vegetable proteins, vitamins, and minerals, this feed is designed to support long-term flock performance without the need for additional supplementation (aside from oyster shell if desired for extra calcium support).
