Fourteen Reasons to love Nesty
Each ingredient has been selectively picked to ensure quality, with majority of our ingredients sourced from
Australian Farmers.
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.
Sorghum
Sorghum is a resilient cereal grain valued for its balanced energy and protein profile. It provides a rich source of starch and essential nutrients, supporting steady energy release in feed formulations. Naturally low in moisture and highly stable in storage, sorghum offers consistent quality and excellent blending properties, making it a reliable ingredient across a wide range of feed applications.
Linseed
Linseed, also known as flaxseed, is a natural source of essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3s. It provides valuable energy and supports balanced nutrition through its oil, protein, and fibre content. Linseed also enhances feed texture and palatability, contributing to consistent blending and overall feed quality.
Mealworms
Mealworms are a highly nutritious and well accepted addition in chicken diets. Rich in protein, mealworms assist in growth and development, feather growth and repair, and enhancing egg quality. They are a fantastic source of amino acids necessary for chicken health. The nutrients in mealworms can help strengthen the immune system of chickens, making them more resistant to diseases and infections.
Molasses
Molasses is a natural feed ingredient produced during sugar extraction, valued for its sweetness, aroma, and binding properties. It enhances feed palatability and reduces dust while improving texture and uniformity in blended feeds. Rich in natural sugars and trace minerals, molasses also supports consistent energy intake and improves overall feed acceptance.
Coarse Wheat Bran
Coarse wheat bran is a highly digestible fibre source that supports rumen and gut health across a wide range of livestock. It promotes steady feed intake, improves manure consistency, and helps stabilise digestion, particularly in grain based or high energy diets. It also provides moderate protein and phosphorus, contributing to balanced nutrition without excessive starch.
Fine Wheat Pollard
Wheat pollard is a palatable, energy dense milling by product that supplies digestible fibre and moderate starch for livestock. It supports gut function, encourages consistent feed intake, and helps balance high forage or low energy rations. Pollard also contributes useful protein and phosphorus, making it a practical ingredient for maintaining condition and supporting growth and production.
Shellgrit
Shell grit is a vital calcium supplement essential for maintaining strong eggshells and supporting skeletal health in poultry and small animals. Composed of crushed marine shells, it provides a natural, slow-release source of calcium that aids digestion by helping grind food in the gizzard. Regular access to shell grit ensures optimal egg production, prevents calcium deficiency, and supports overall wellbeing. Naturally clean and dust-free, it can be offered free-choice or mixed into feed. Durable and long-lasting, shell grit is an indispensable addition to any poultry or small animal diet to promote strong bones, healthy eggs, and efficient digestion.
Peas
Peas are a highly digestible legume ingredient valued for their balanced protein, energy, and fibre content. They provide a natural source of amino acids, starch, and essential nutrients while supporting feed structure and consistency. With a mild flavour and smooth texture, peas contribute to palatability and nutritional diversity in feed formulations.
Hulled Oats
Hulled oats are a nutrient dense cereal grain that retains the bran layer after dehulling, providing a balanced source of energy, protein, and fibre. They support steady energy release through digestible carbohydrates and contribute to feed structure and texture. Naturally palatable, hulled oats are a versatile ingredient suited to a wide range of feed formulations.
Safflower Seeds
Safflower seeds are an oil-rich ingredient valued for their high content of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid. They provide a natural source of energy and contribute to a glossy coat and healthy skin when included in feed formulations. With moderate protein and fibre levels, safflower seeds also enhance feed texture and palatability.
Rice Bran
Rice bran is a nutrient rich by product of rice milling, containing natural oils, protein, fibre, and essential minerals. It contributes to feed palatability and energy density while supporting a balanced nutritional profile. The inclusion of rice bran also enhances feed texture and uniformity, making it a versatile ingredient in both grain-based and pelleted formulations.
Lupins
Lupins are a high-protein legume rich in natural fibre, energy, and essential amino acids. They contribute to balanced nutrition through their digestible protein and oil content while supporting feed structure and consistency. Naturally low in starch, lupins provide a sustainable plant-based ingredient with excellent nutritional density and functional versatility in feed formulations.
Oats
Oats are a highly digestible cereal grain valued for their balanced energy, fibre, and protein profile. Naturally rich in beta-glucans and essential nutrients, they contribute to steady energy release and feed texture. Their soft hull and palatable flavour make oats a reliable, versatile ingredient suited to a wide range of feed formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can all poultry eat Nesty’s Poultry Porridge?
Yes, Nesty’s Poultry Porridge is safe for all poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, and more. Even baby poultry, such as chicks, goslings, and ducklings, can enjoy any flavour from the range. Be sure to always add water to ensure easy consumption, as this feed is not suitable to be served dry.
Why should I feed my flock Poultry Porridge?
Feeding your flock a wet mash provides a nutritious, highly palatable meal that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy. It’s also a great way to increase their fluid intake on hot days while boosting productivity. Plus, it offers enrichment, giving your chickens a fun, engaging activity.
What makes Nesty’s Poultry Porridge the better choice?
Made with Australian grains and produced in South Australia, Nesty’s Poultry Porridge range is manufactured in a Feed Safe Accredited Feed Mill and offers nutritious, balanced mashes that your flock will love. With a variety of flavours and carefully selected ingredients tailored to poultry nutritional needs, there’s something for everyone. They are free from antibiotics, all-natural, and perfect at feeding the fussiest of feeders.
Can I use cold water instead of hot water to prepare the mash?
Yes, you can use warm, hot, or cold water. However, cold water will take longer for the porridge to soak and reach the desired consistency.
Can I feed Poultry Porridge dry or without water?
Whilst the Poultry Porridge (mash) range is designed to be mixed with water and served immediately. Feeding it dry is an option, working similar to a pecking pellet to provide long term stimulation. Always feed with caution and supervise hens if feeding dry, as it may cause chickens to choke or struggle with the large pellet size.
Can I feed other treats to my flock along with the Poultry Porridge?
Yes, but keep treats to no more than 10% of your flock’s diet. Always provide clean water and ensure pellets or a grain blend are available for ad-lib feeding.
