Looking to keep your chickens healthy, active, and laying at their best? You've landed in the right place. The right chicken feed isn’t just a basic need – it’s essential for promoting strong immune systems, vibrant plumage, and consistent egg production. At Petstock, our focus is your flock’s wellbeing, which is why we offer a variety of feed options tailored to every stage and need
We offer a wide selection from trusted brands like Topflite and Coprice, known for their balanced nutrition and great taste. From nutritious pellets and protein-rich crumbles to scratch grains and specialty blends, we’ve got everything your chickens crave.
For laying hens, choose a layer pellet or crumble containing 16–18% protein, with added calcium as a key component of their diet. This ensures they receive the energy and nutrients needed for consistent egg production and daily activity. Trusted brands like Topflite and Coprice offer high-quality layer feed options.
On average, a hen consumes around 100–120 grams of feed per day, though this can vary based on her size, breed, and seasonal conditions – chickens often eat more during colder months. Be mindful not to overfeed scraps or high-energy treats like corn or bread, as these can disrupt the nutritional balance of their diet.
Yes, scraps are fine in moderation but shouldn’t replace their main feed. Limit scraps to what they can eat in about 20 minutes and ensure they're still getting the majority of their nutrients from a high-quality chicken feed.
Healthy feathers, consistent egg laying, and active behaviour are all signs your chickens are thriving. If they become sluggish or egg production drops, it could be a sign their diet needs adjusting.
Let your chooks have free access to their feed from dawn to dusk. They typically self-regulate their intake so it’s the best way to ensure they all get enough, even the lower-ranked birds in the pecking order.
We recommend you to have at least one feeder for every 6-8 birds. In every flock, there’s a pecking order where the dominant chickens often eat first and the smaller or lower-ranked hens don’t get enough. Using multiple feeders ensures all your chickens get their fair share!
