Tropical Course Laying Mash

This is a fantastic product. If you want eggs on your table, this is the mash that does it best. Tropical course laying mash contains everything a laying hens need to lay, and lay they do. I have tested a lot of different chook feeds and this one out perfoms them all. If you are feeding this mash and not getting eggs, then something else is causing the problem not the diet.

Tropical Mash has a good blend of grains, with plenty of corn for a nice golden yolk. The mash has shellgrit added for strong shells, and extra vitamins and minerals to help her lay.

Red Label Layer Mash

Riverina Red Label Laying Mash is suitable to be fed as a complete feed to domestic laying hens producing table eggs. Laying hens from point of lay (approx 20-22 weeks of age) to end of lay should have unlimited access (ad-lib).

This mash combines grains, a nutrient pellet and a light coating of molasses. The molasses helps to reduce the dust and makes it easier for the hens to eat. Added molasses can make it harder to pour out of the bag and it can make a bit of a mess.

Fine Laying Mash

The fine mash is a complete feed with all the nutritional requirements for your laying hens. Because it is a fine powder it can be a bit dusty and cause infections if it gets in their eyes. A lot of people dampen this mash down with a little water to reduce the dustiness.

As a powder this product also needs care given to storage as it will absorb moisture very quickly and go off. Store in cool dry area.
