Feed
Feed suited to every age of your birds
A well-fed bird is a productive and healthy bird. AnimalParadise brings together the essential feeds of the backyard: whole-cereal mixes and laying pellets formulated to meet the nutritional needs of hens, ducks, geese and turkeys. Each stage of growth calls for a precise ration, from the fragile chick to the layer in full production.
Which feed should I choose for my birds’ age?
The chick needs a protein-rich starter feed, finely ground and easy to digest. The growing pullet then moves on to an intermediate feed, before the layer receives a laying pellet enriched with calcium. Matching the ration to age ensures balanced growth and steady laying.
Should I favour cereals or pellets?
The two complement each other. Cereal mixes bring energy and the pleasure of pecking, while laying pellets offer a complete, balanced ration in a single feed. Many keepers pair a base pellet with a seed supplement to vary the diet without unbalancing the intake.
Our range of feeds for the backyard
- Chick starter feed : a finely ground, protein-rich formula to support the first weeks of life.
- Cereal mix : wheat, maize and seeds for a palatable feed that encourages natural pecking.
- Laying pellet : a complete, enriched ration to support steady laying in the adult hen.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: offer the feed freely in a clean, dry feeder, and avoid storing cereals for more than a few months to preserve their nutritional qualities.
