Feeding poultry

In both intensive and semi-intensive systems, laying hens need constant access to food and water, and feeders should be distributed evenly.

Feeders

A good feeder should be:

• durable enough to withstand frequent cleaning;
• stable enough not to be knocked over;
• of the correct height and depth;
• bird proof (such that birds cannot get into it or roost in it); and
• equipped with a lip to prevent birds from spooning feed out onto the floor with their beaks.

The height of the feed inside the feeder, which should never be more than one-third full, should be level with the back of the birds, to prevent them from scratching contaminated litter into the feeders and to limit feed wastage.
