Description

Topflite Scratch & Lay for Chickens is a wholesome blend of quality whole grains designed to encourage natural foraging behaviour while supporting condition and egg production in backyard flocks.

Scatter it on the ground and watch the scratching begin. This mix keeps hens active, engaged and working for their feed, just as nature intended.

What is Scratch & Lay used for?

Scratch mixes are designed to:

  • Encourage natural scratching and pecking behaviour

  • Provide energy through whole grains

  • Add variety to a balanced layer diet

  • Support condition during cooler months

It is best fed as a supplement alongside a complete layer feed to ensure hens receive all essential vitamins, minerals and calcium for strong eggshells.

Why scratch feeding matters

Chickens are natural foragers. Providing scratch feed:

  • Reduces boredom in confined runs

  • Promotes movement and activity

  • Helps maintain healthy body condition

  • Encourages flock harmony through shared feeding

For best results, scatter in the late afternoon so hens can work through it before roosting.

Always ensure fresh water is available and store feed in a cool, dry, sealed container.

Available in store at Wonderworld Aquarium & Pet Centre, Rotorua.

Can Scratch & Lay be fed on its own?
No. It should be fed as a treat or supplement alongside a nutritionally complete layer feed.

How often should I feed scratch grain?
In moderation. Typically once daily in small amounts depending on flock size.
