Purina® Layena® Crumbles

Purina® Layena® layer feed provides the nutrients laying hens need once they’re 18 weeks old and laying eggs. Feeding Purina® Layena® layer feed to your hens provides you with delicious and nutritious eggs that your family and community can enjoy. The exclusive Purina® Oyster Strong® System strengthens eggshells with added calcium from oyster shells, Vitamin D and manganese. Our Crumbles are wholesome and balanced, supporting reproductive and overall health with no need to supplement.

Purina® Layena® Layer Feed is available in pellets or crumbles. Pellets and crumbles include the same nutrition, so choosing between the two is a personal preference. Pellets are a great way to limit feed waste.

Purina® Layena® pellets and crumbles are available in 10 lb., 25 lb., 40 lb. and 50 lb. bags.

    • Feeding Directions

      Best Results

      1. Feed Purina® Layena® free-choice as the sole ration to laying chickens (including backyard egg producers, small to medium breeds and fancy and exotic breeds) after 18 weeks of age and throughout the laying cycle.
      2. Purina® Layena® can be fed to adult female chickens of laying age.
      3. Always provide shelter and a constant supply of fresh, clean water.
      4. Consumption will vary depending upon season of the year, nutritional needs of the animals and availability of other foods.

      Caution

      Store in a dry, well-ventilated area free from rodents and insects. Never use moldy or insect-infested feed.

      Important

      A feeding program is only as effective as the management practices. Actual results can vary depending upon feed intake, environmental conditions and the quality of management practices.

Great size

My Silkies are picky about eating pellets and sometimes crumbles can be off their favorite list due to size or texture. So far they love it and their eggs are stronger.
