 Purina Layena has long been the leader in premium laying hen nutrition, with the ideal balance of protein, vitamins, and minerals for optimal hen health, egg production, and egg quality. Made from fresh cut grains from North American farms, it is always free of artificial by-products, fillers, artificial preservatives, antibiotics or growth hormones. Research has shown that hens need more than just scratch grains and table scraps: you can read more about hen health relative to egg quality here.
Purina Animal Nutrition is committed to animal excellence, putting innovation, expertise, and quality first. With that in mind, the Purina team has completed over 5,000 flock studies, focusing on backyard bird nutrition, health, and management. This October, an updated Layena Crumble and Pellet were introduced with some slight changes in formula to benefit overall flock health and production: * Phytase has been added to allow organic phosphorus from plant-based ingredients to be more readily digestible to the chickens, so less inorganic phosphorus is needed in the diet. Less inorganic phosphorus is a great side-benefit, as it will reduce the amount of unused phosphorus in the chicken manure which in turn reduces the contribution of phosphorus from manure to the soil. Inorganic phosphorus can build up in the soil, with negative environmental impacts over time. * Inulin, a prebiotic, which is a natural soluble dietary fiber comprised of several simple sugars linked together, to help support healthy digestion. Prebiotics are food for the beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in the gut, and are essential to keeping a healthy population of probiotics. * Probiotics, specifically dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried Pediococcus adicilacticii fermentation product, dried Bifiobacterium animalis fermentation product, and dried Lactobacillus reuteri fermentation product, also help support digestive health. A healthy digestive system is crucial for good immune systems and overall flock health. At Linseisen's, we carry both Layena Crumbles and Layena Pellets, in 50 lb bags, and recommend transitioning young hens to it at 18-20 weeks of age. At this time, pullets (immature females) are starting to produce their first eggs and are ready to switch from the Purina Start&Grow crumbles. No additional oyster shell or grit is necessary, although some folks like to offer a separate free choice supply. Hens often enjoy table scraps and scratch grains (aka hen scratch), a natural way to encourage foraging and scratching. However, these "treat" foods should be limited to no more than 10% of the diet, otherwise the benefits of the Layena will be diluted and the overall diet unbalanced. Additionally, if you're interested in a extra omega-3 production, Purina Layena Plus Omega-3 is available with all the same benefits plus added omega-3, resulting in 300% more omega-3 per egg. Layena Plus Omega-3 is available in 40 lb bags in a mini-pellet form. Giving your hens high-quality feeds provides you and your families with the best eggs possible. It is trickle-down nutrition at its functional best and answers the age old question that it’s not the chicken or the egg, but in fact it’s the chicken AND the egg. If you put it in the hen, she will put it in the egg.

Did you know that chicks hatched and purchased in March will be laying eggs by late August? Our first shipment of chicks for 2015 will arrive Thursday, February 19. We'll have new arrivals every Thursday through mid-April, plus an extra shipment the Tuesday before Easter. Each week we'll have 25 pullets (female chicks) from 3 to 5 different egg-laying breeds. See the following list of descriptions of breeds. There will also be a few shipments with specialty assortments such as "Dark Brown Egg Layers" and "Feather Leg Standard Breeds", which are great to add some interest and variety to your flock. If you're looking for a rooster, we can usually add roosters as a special order to an existing shipment if requested in advance. On various weeks, we'll also have assorted, unsexed baby ducks, Bantams, and/or guinea fowl. Please call or come by to see the price list and schedule of chicks for each week, and to reserve your chicks! **post updated 12/26/15**  Gold Sex Links Excellent brown egg layer, developed for commercial egg production. Large body size, useful for meat also. Hens are very light red with white tails; roosters are solid white. Very easily sexed as chicks because male chicks are solid light yellow, while females are golden with red on their backs, thus the term "sex links".  Black Sex Links Excellent brown egg layer, developed for commercial egg production. Hens are solid black with reddish gold front neck plumage; roosters are barred black & white with a touch of gold plumage. Very easily sexed as chicks because both are solid black but males have white spots on their heads while female heads are solid; thus the term "sex links".  Ameracaunas Excellent layer of light green to bluish eggs: "Easter Egg bird". Large body size. Many colors from black to reddish to white, with notably full muffled jowls, beards and tail feathers. Chicks can be multiple colors and will have distinctive puffed "cheeks". Often confused with Araucanas, a less common breed. Green/blue eggs at one time were promoted to be lower in cholesterol, but this has been proven false. **Every year, Ameracaunas prove to be the most popular breed at Linseisen's and sell out quickly!**  Barred Plymouth Rocks Excellent brown egg producer. Large body size, useful for meat also. Barred black & white, with hens showing more black than roosters. Similar to Dominiques, but are better layers and have single combs.  Rhode Island Reds Excellent brown egg producer. Large body size. Dark mahogany red plumage. Popular old breed great for both egg and meat production.  Silver Laced Wyandottes Very good brown egg producer. Medium body size. Similar to barred coloration, black (with greenish tint) laced with silvery gray striping on each feather. Beautiful coloring and docile nature make this old breed very popular.  Production Reds Excellent brown egg layer. Medium body size. Shades of light to dark red, lighter than Rhode Island Reds. Known for its prolific laying of large eggs, it's often called the "Cherry Egger".  Ideal 236 Excellent white egg layer. Medium-large body size. White plumage with a few black specks. Better suited to the family flock than commercial white egg layers like the White Leghorn, but with similar productivity, livability and strong eggs. Original cross bred by Ideal Poultry.  Buff Orpingtons Good brown egg layer. Large body size with fluffy rich golden buff feathers that make it appear even bigger. Coloring and quiet disposition make this a popular breed.  Black Australorps Excellent brown egg producer. Medium-large body size. Solid black plumage with a green sheen. Known especially for laying very efficiently even during very hot weather and for long periods. Chicks will have white on wing tips until fully mature, when it will turn solid black.
