Features & benefits
- Hen-sized large particle oyster shell for nighttime slow-release calcium to support strong bones and eggshells.
- Research-based (<30%) whole corn, feed wheat, black oil sunflower seeds, and yellow peas for gizzard development, increased nutrient digestibility, reduction of pathogenic bacteria, and to encourage natural foraging behavior.
- Prebiotics, probiotics, yeast culture, botanicals, essential oils, enzymes, and coconut oil-derived monolaurin to support optimum gut health and immunity.
- Organic trace minerals and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to support excellent skeletal integrity and eggshell quality.
- Niacin (55 mg/lb) to support all types of laying poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys).
The most advanced research-based layer feed on the market for support of optimum health, longevity, nutrient utilization, and egg production. It’s 100% layer feed without any fish food, dog food, or rabbit feed. Just locally sourced, American-made quality ingredients. Formulated based on over 25 years of global research on whole grain feeding and calcium source particle size for hens. Only Patriot Poultry Layer Feed combines the proper balance of whole and ground grains to foster natural foraging behavior without sacrificing egg production. The addition of hen-sized oyster shell ensures that hens have both rapidly available and slow-release overnight sources of calcium for stronger bones and eggshells.

Questions about this feed
Short answers to what people ask. Always follow the feeding directions on the bag tag.
-
What if roosters share the feeder?
For a flock with actively laying hens, our poultry finder still recommends an appropriate layer feed and explains the shared-feeder consideration. A developer feed with oyster shell offered separately is an alternative to discuss for your particular flock. Find a feed for your flock →
-
Can every bird in a mixed flock eat the same feed?
The youngest birds, species, and laying status all matter. Use the mixed-flock options to account for chickens, waterfowl, and other birds sharing the feeder. Check your mixed flock →
-
When do chicks move from starter to grower to layer feed?
Follow the feeding stages on the specific bag. Start chicks on an appropriate starter, use a grower or developer for growing pullets, and move hens to an appropriate layer feed as they approach laying, according to the product directions. Meat birds, turkeys, and gamebirds need their own feeding programs. Find a feed for your birds →
-
Can young chicks eat layer feed?
Layer feed has calcium levels intended for egg production and is not an appropriate starter for young chicks. Keep chicks on feed suited to their age. If chicks share a feeder with adult layers, ask for a mixed-age feeding plan. Check your mixed-age flock →
-
What is the difference between grit and oyster shell?
Insoluble grit helps the gizzard grind foods such as whole grains. Oyster shell supplies calcium and serves a different purpose; the two are not interchangeable. Use age-appropriate grit when birds need it, and plan calcium supplementation around their laying status and complete feed. Ask about your flock →

2 more questions
-
Can scratch grains replace complete feed?
No. Scratch grains are not a complete diet. Keep an appropriate complete feed as the foundation of the feeding program and offer scratch as an occasional treat, rather than mixing it into the complete feed and changing the nutrient balance. Read University of Georgia guidance →
-
What should I feed during a moult?
Provide an appropriate complete feed, fresh water, and consistent care while birds replace feathers. Avoid diluting their ration with large amounts of scratch or treats. Review the flock’s laying status and shared-feeder needs when choosing the feed. Read the Backyard Flock Moulting Guide →
