Southern 16% Layer Pellets

16% Layer Pellets (50 lb.)

Keep your laying flock healthy, active, and producing farm-fresh eggs with these complete 16% Layer Pellets. Specifically formulated to meet the high nutritional demands of laying hens, this 50-pound bag provides a balanced daily diet packed with 16% crude protein, essential amino acids (Lysine and Methionine), and optimal calcium levels (3.50%–4.00%) to support strong, smooth eggshells and consistent egg production.

Formulated in a clean pelletized shape, this feed minimizes waste and dust while preventing selective eating, ensuring every bird receives equal nutrition with every bite. Pullets can be seamlessly transitioned from chick starter/grower feeds to these layer pellets at 16 weeks of age as they prepare to begin their laying cycle. Fortified with essential vitamins (A, D3, E, and B-complex) and vital trace minerals, it promotes vibrant feather quality, high energy, and robust immune health.

Feed as the primary ration to your flock, or scatter alongside your favorite scratch grains to encourage natural foraging and extra flock activity.
