Purina layena omega plus feed

[RESQME49]

Being new to chickens and feed, I picked up Purina layena omega plus. Reviews look good. Curious what others think?

It is good feed for laying hens. If you have non laying, or roosters, than it is too high in calcium for those. The 16% protein is at the lower minimum end of protein needs. It will do the job though. Many peeps including myself prefer a slightly higher protein % since when giving treats, the overall protein intake gets diluted. (treats like scratch are lower in protein). I use Alfloc. 18% protein and 2% calcium. I have layers and non layers.

I have 4 laying hens and am getting 3 more. First go around with layers. I also feed cracked corn and use meal worms as treats.

You will do fine. Remember that if you overdo with the corn, then you dilute the protein percentage. That may lead to less than optimal egg production. (Try to limit if you can to 10% corn if you can). Meal worms are GOOD.
