“Since backyard chickens rely on chicken food as their primary source of nutrition, it’s important to select the most nutritious and best quality product available,” said Dr. Bart Slaugh, Director of Quality Assurance at Eggland’s Best. “At Eggland’s Best, we adhere to the strictest of quality standards, so consumers can feel confident that they are purchasing the highest quality chicken food that will help keep their hens healthy and produce a nutritionally superior egg.

Eggland’s Best unique chicken food formula consists of a proprietary all-vegetarian blend of healthy grains, canola oil, and a supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp, and Vitamin E, resulting in higher amounts of omega 3’s as well as 15 different vitamins and minerals. These play a crucial role in the overall support for immune health and development, as well as energy, eye health, egg production and metabolism of backyard layers.

“We know many backyard chicken owners look at their hens as almost being members of their family. Being able to feed their ‘girls’ such a rich, premium, and proven diet, we knew, would be of great interest to those owners. And the more nutritious eggs are the reward they get for taking such good care of their flock. It’s a really virtuous cycle for hens and humans alike,” said Frank Bergin, General Manager, Strategic Ventures, and Innovations for Eggland’s Best. “We are excited to make our proprietary premium formula available to passionate backyard chicken owners everywhere so they can now rest easy that their ‘girls’ are getting the nutrition they need and deserve to live their best life.”
