FAQs

How much feed should I provide daily?

Provide the feed ad-lib, allowing the hens to eat as much as they want. Monitor their consumption and adjust accordingly, ensuring the feeder never runs completely empty.

Can I feed this to my chicks?

No, Argo Value Layers Pellets are formulated for adult laying hens only. Chicks require a different feed specifically designed for their nutritional needs.

How should I store the feed?

Store the feed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and pests. Use a sealed container to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.

What if my hens are not eating the feed?

Ensure the feed is fresh and not stale. Check for any signs of illness or stress in the flock. If you're switching feeds, introduce it gradually. Ensure the water supply is clean and accessible.

How often should I clean the feeders and waterers?

Clean feeders and waterers regularly, ideally weekly, or more often if needed, to prevent contamination and maintain hygiene. Use a poultry-safe disinfectant.

Is it necessary to supplement with anything else?

Argo Value Layers Pellets are formulated to provide a complete and balanced diet for laying hens. Additional supplementation is generally not required if the hens are healthy and consuming the feed. However, consult a veterinarian if you have specific concerns.

Troubleshooting

Reduced egg production.

Ensure the hens have constant access to feed and fresh water. Check for any signs of illness or stress in the flock. Consider the age and breed of your hens, as some breeds naturally lay fewer eggs.

Feed spoilage or mold.

Check the feed for signs of dampness, mold, or insect infestation. Discard any spoiled feed and clean the feeder. Store the remaining feed in a sealed container in a cool, dry place.

Hens are not eating the feed.

Ensure the feed is fresh and not stale. Gradually introduce the new feed if the hens are accustomed to a different type. Ensure there are no other issues causing stress in the flock.
