Laying hens primarily eat a balanced diet that includes commercial layer feed, which is rich in nutrients, proteins, and calcium to support egg production. Their diet typically consists of grains, such as corn and wheat, along with protein sources like soybean meal and minerals. Additionally, hens may consume greens, insects, and other natural foraging materials when allowed to roam. Fresh water is also crucial for their health and egg-laying capabilities.
