Indigenous Feeds Range

Backyard poultry production is at the subsistence level of farming. Birds live free range and hatch their own eggs. Their diet is supplemented with crop waste or food leftovers.

Viking Backyard Chicken Mash, also known as KIENYEJI MASH, is nutritionally balanced and fortified with calcium and methionine. Calcium is important for bone development and egg shell formation while methionine is an essential amino acid required for growth, egg size and rate of lay. This feed is intended to be fed to free range poultry that have access to fresh pasture and are able to scratch for natural worms and bugs. The hen’s diet can also be supplemented with fresh household food scraps.

If the free range conditions are not ideal it may be necessary to feed Viking Layer Feed ranges such as chick starter mash, pullet grower mash and layer mash. These diets are complete and require no other supplementary feeding.
