Vella Free Range Scratch Mix 20kg is a high-quality grain-based poultry feed designed as a complementary treat or supplementary ration for chickens and ducks. This nutritious blend combines whole grains, seeds, and a fortified nutrient pellet to help support energy, condition, and overall flock health.

Formulated for free-range and backyard poultry systems, this scratch mix provides a highly palatable source of carbohydrates, fats, and natural oils to encourage natural foraging behaviour while adding variety to the daily diet. The inclusion of a nutrient-rich pellet ensures birds also receive essential vitamins, minerals, and protein to support egg production and general wellbeing.

This mix is ideal for laying hens and mature poultry when used as part of a balanced feeding program alongside a complete layer feed. It can be fed on its own as a treat, scattered to encourage activity, or blended with layer pellets to improve intake and enrichment.

While highly beneficial for energy and enrichment, Vella Scratch Mix is not a complete feed and should be used in moderation as part of a well-balanced diet.
