Important to note when making your own layers mash

Layer feed should contain a Digestible Crude Protein (DCP) content of between 16-18 per cent.

The feed should contain calcium (lime) for the formation of egg shells (laying hens that do not get enough calcium will use the calcium stored in their own born tissue to produce egg shells).

Layer feed should be introduced at 18 weeks.
