Product Description
Optimize egg production and support the demanding nutritional needs of your laying hens with Durvet Layer Boost, a specialized supplement formulated specifically for chickens in lay. This 100-gram powder provides targeted nutritional support that addresses the unique challenges laying hens face, including calcium demands for strong eggshells, energy requirements for consistent production, and overall health maintenance during the physically demanding laying cycle. Layer Boost goes beyond basic nutrition to provide the extra support productive hens need to maintain peak laying performance while staying healthy and vigorous.
Laying hens have dramatically higher nutritional requirements than non-laying birds, particularly for calcium, vitamins, and minerals that support both egg production and the hen's own body maintenance. Each egg represents a significant nutritional investment, and consistent laying can deplete reserves if hens don't receive adequate supplementation. Durvet Layer Boost fills these nutritional gaps with a carefully balanced formula that supports strong eggshells, rich yolk color, consistent laying patterns, and overall hen vitality throughout the productive laying period.

Ideal For
Essential for backyard chicken keepers with laying hens who want to optimize egg production and quality. Perfect for hens showing signs of declining egg production, soft shells, or irregular laying patterns. Excellent for supporting hens through peak laying periods when nutritional demands are highest. Ideal for older laying hens who may need extra nutritional support to maintain production. Great for hens recovering from molting when they resume laying. Suitable for all laying breeds including Rhode Island Reds, Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks, Orpingtons, and heritage breeds. Particularly valuable during winter months when natural foraging is limited and nutritional intake may decrease.
Feeding Instructions
Mix recommended dosage with drinking water daily according to package directions for your flock size. Begin supplementation when pullets start laying (typically 16-20 weeks of age) and continue throughout active laying periods. Prepare fresh solution daily and discard unused portion after 24 hours. Ensure all laying hens have access to supplemented water throughout the day, particularly during morning hours when most laying occurs.
Monitor egg production and quality for improvements including stronger shells, richer yolk color, and more consistent laying patterns. Layer Boost works best when combined with quality layer feed that already provides baseline nutrition. Continue use during winter months when production naturally decreases to support hens maintaining any level of production. Can be used alongside calcium supplements like oyster shell. Clean waterers daily to ensure supplement freshness. If production issues persist despite supplementation, consult with a veterinarian to rule out health problems or parasites that may be affecting laying.
