Hulled Oats

Used only in our higher spec feeds, hulled oats or “naked oats” have the fibrous hull removed, making their nutrients more available. Oats have high levels of essential amino acids, lysine and methionine. It also has the highest lipid content of all cereals. Hulled oats can reduce pecking and aggression in flocks too.

1
Black Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds provide healthy fats and antioxidants, whilst improving the quality of hens eggs and boosting their immunity. Rich in vitamin E, sunflower seeds provide energy and can aid in the moulting process and periods of stress. The high linoleic acid content is essential for keeping poultry at a healthy weight, particularly throughout winter, where plumper chickens will handle the cold better.

2
Wheat

Wheat is a rich source of carbohydrates, providing the energy chickens need for daily activities, growth, and egg production. Its high energy content helps maintain the bird's metabolism and overall health. Chickens generally find wheat quite palatable, which can ensure consistent feed intake.

3
Concentrated Vitamins

Essential for normal body functions, growth and reproduction, a balanced blend of vitamins is provided in Nesty Complete. The palatable formula allows for easy consumption ensuring your hens receive the nutrients they need.

4
Corn

High in carbohydrates and low in fibre, maize (corn) is easy to digest and a valuable source of energy. Maize can increase chickens weight and contains less sugar than sweet corn. Cryptoxanthin is a colour pigment present in corn that may help give egg yolks a brighter yellow colour too. The high calorie, low protein content makes maize an essential and widely used cereal as part of the balanced diet.

5
Barley

Used only in our Superfood diet, barley offers lower energy values than other cereals due to its low starch and high fibre content. Barley is used in Nesty Superfoods to complement chickens’ existing diet and to provide additional fibre.

6
Linseed

Linseed is a unique oilseed because of its high alpha-linoleic acid. It is one of the most concentrated sources of unsaturated fatty acids available in poultry feeds. Linseed enriches eggs with omega 3 fatty acids enormously. The increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids is accompanied by a decrease in saturated fatty acids, the result is a healthier fat profile. Nutrients in linseeds are very important in the development and maintenance of a healthy brain, liver and heart.

7
Lucerne chaff

Fibre rich and highly palatable, lucerne is an enriching option that stimulates positive behaviours in poultry. Lucerne also helps to optimise chickens intestinal flora, particularly when phasing in new feeds. It supports the yellow colouring of the yolk and assists with birds to be healthier, stronger and fuller in feather.

8
Peas

Peas can be a valuable energy and protein source for several classes of poultry. They are low in fat and high in starch. This legume is high in lysine, one of the most vital amino acids required in poultry diets and it’s high protein content complements many cereal based diets.

9
Soybean Meal

Soybean Meal offers high levels of protein, an excellent amino acid profile and good bioavailability. It aids in chickens' growth and overall well-being. It’s high specifications allow for it to be paired with a variety of cereals, complementing feeds such as corn which is the primary energy source in many poultry diets. Soybean meal can aid in lustrous feathers and may reduce the risk if some health problems.

10
Vegetable Oil

An excellent source of essential fatty acids and energy. Oil is rich in a variety of unsaturated fatty acids which are important for the growth and development of laying hens, particularly linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is deposited directly into the egg yolk which thereby increases the weight of the egg. Oil also improves the overall palatability of the feed, animal immunity and feed intake.

11
Calcium Supplements

Includes Shell grit and Calciprill to assist in calcium requirements. The Shellgrit helps grind down the food in the gizzard, aid in egg shell strength and bone development. The Calciprill is a highly soluble and bioavailable source of calcium to allow for easy absorption and utilisation of calcium fed in your fowls diet.

Shipping Frequently Asked Questions

All orders are shipped and dispatched from our facility in Mount Barker, SA. Orders with items displayed as ‘in stock’ on our site are processed and shipped next day. With the Exclusion of weekends and public holidays.

We can only ship Small Accessories to PO Boxes, while larger items like Next Boxes and other accessories must be shipped to residential or commercial addresses due to their size. Unfortunately, we’re unable to accommodate custom delivery requests such as scheduling specific delivery dates and times, leaving the package in a particular location, or calling in advance or on arrival. These requests can only be accommodated if a customer organises freight collection and services themselves.

The packaging should ensure that the product arrives in brand-new, perfect condition. Nestyboxes takes great care to ensure that the product is dispatched from our facility in perfect condition. Even though we hope it won't, if an item is harmed in transit or a portion of your delivery is missing, kindly let us know as soon as you can after receiving your order by contacting us using the information on our Contact page.

When placing an order, you have the choice to select "authority to leave" during the checkout process (ATL). In this case, without a signature being required, our shipping carriers will leave the delivery at your unattended location. It's important to understand that this delivery method carries no guarantee against loss or damage, and neither NestyBoxes nor the shipping companies we work with cannot be held responsible for it.
It might not always be possible for the shipping carrier to leave a package with ATL instructions, though. This might happen, for example, if the delivery address is inside a secure building or complex and appropriate access to the address is not possible, or if there are insufficient instructions regarding where to leave the delivery.

All your questions answered

Yes. Chickens eat to their energy requirements more than to when they feel full. Thus, by providing your chickens with a higher spec feed, you should see a reduction in consumption.
To put that into perspective for you, chickens eat on average 130g per head per day. By providing your chickens with a feed such as Nesty Complete, you may find your hens eat 110-120g per head per day.
Results may differ between flocks.

Nesty Superfoods can be added immediately into your chickens regular diet with no adjustment period necessary. Always have clean water available.

Yes, Nesty Complete can be fed as a treat or as a complete feed in your flock (hens 16 weeks or older). Nesty Complete has a rich blend of whole and crushed grains, making it an appetizing option as a treat for your chickens.

Nesty Complete is designed to be fed to poultry from point of lay (16 weeks) onwards.

It is not recommended to feed Nesty Superfoods in conjunction with Nesty Complete. Nesty Superfoods is designed to be mixed in with a standard chicken feed (roughly 15% protein or less). Nesty Complete has specifications higher than a standard chicken feed, making it not a suitable blend with Nesty Superfoods.

Yes, Nesty Complete can be feed to all poultry older than 16 weeks. It is not recommended for chicks (babies) or pullets (juveniles).

No, Nesty Complete is an all natural, antibiotic free, and vegetarian only feed. It is contains a blend of whole and crushed grains plus added vitamins and minerals to suit the needs of laying poultry.

Using either Nesty Complete or Nesty Superfoods will help with egg quality.
