Poultry Feed

Poultry Feed and Chicken Feed for Backyard Flocks

Poultry feed is the grain, pellet and mash mix that keeps chickens and other backyard birds laying, growing and healthy. At Bonnyrigg Produce & Garden Supplies, we stock a full range of chicken feed for every stage, from chick starter to layer pellets, plus grains, grit and treats. Whether you keep three hens in the yard or a bigger flock, there's a feed here to match. You can buy poultry feed online for delivery across Australia, or grab it in store. Good feed is the difference between a few eggs and a full carton, so it pays to get it right.

How to choose the right chicken feed

Match the feed to the bird's age and job. Chicks need a high-protein chick starter feed for the first weeks, growers move onto a grower ration, and laying hens want a complete layer feed with added calcium for strong shells. Get the stage right and the birds do the rest. Feeding poultry the wrong ration is the most common reason hens go off the lay, so set them up with clean water and a trough from our Drinkers & Feeders range.

Layer pellets and feed for laying hens

For everyday laying, our layer pellets and mash do the heavy lifting. Popular picks include Barastoc Golden Yolk, Purastock Free Range Layer Pellets and Laucke Red Hen 17, a no-grind crumble that suits fussy birds. These give feed for laying hens the protein and calcium they need for daily eggs. Chicken layer pellets are the simplest way to keep a backyard flock in lay right through the year.

Chicken scratch mix and poultry grains

Beyond pellets, birds love a scratch. Avigrain Scratch Mix is a classic chicken scratch mix that keeps hens busy and happy in the run. We also stock straight poultry grain like wheat, barley and oats, handy for mixing your own ration or feeding as a treat. A handful of grain thrown down in the afternoon keeps the flock scratching and settled. For pigeon keepers, our Pigeon Feed range carries the right mixes too.

Grit, shell and chicken treats

Laying hens need grit to digest their food and calcium to build shells. We keep Calci Grit and J.McMahon shell grit for exactly that, plus dried mealworms as a protein-packed treat. A little shell grit on the side stops thin, cracked eggs before they start. For extra condition and gut health, our Medication & Supplement range covers the rest.

Bulk poultry feed and 20kg bags

Bigger flocks eat through feed fast, so most of our layer feeds and grains come in 20kg bags. Buying poultry feed bulk works out cheaper per kilo and means fewer trips to the store. Chicken feed in 20kg is the sweet spot for most backyard keepers, holding well as long as you store it dry and cool. Keeping a spare bag on hand saves a scramble when the feed bin runs low.

Poultry feed brands we stock

We stick to feed brands Aussie poultry keepers already trust. Barastoc and Laucke Mills cover the complete layer pellets and crumbles, Avigrain and Wild Acres handle the grains and scratch mix, and Purastock brings solid free-range layer pellets and stockfeed. Vella Stock Feeds rounds it out as a reliable local option, while Elite and J.McMahon look after the grit and treats. Between them, every stage from chick to layer is sorted.
