Laying MASH is specially formulated chicken feed meant to boost your pullets nutritional health. Layer mash is higher in protein and various minerals than other feeds. Layer mash/layer feed includes higher calcium content suited to the nutritional needs of hens producing eggs. The mash is ground finer than normal feed and can be fed dry or moist. It also comes in a pellet form for those hens who prefer a pellet.
