About feeding for egg production

[Rizu]

Layer feed should generally be avoided especially for the backyard flock. It's intended for commercial use in battery cages.

Layer feeds is not available in market here. I am thinking to put broiler feed but can i get egg by doing so? Only u can answer me.

You should not feed layer feed. I actually avoid it. This is why.
You can feed any feed that has between 18 and 22% protein. Don't go over 22%. Broiler, grower, finisher, maintenance, or all-flock feeds work well. Birds lay the best around 20%.
Make sure you provide insoluble (granite) grit, and oystershell, free choice in seperate bowls from the feed.
