The range runs from backyard poultry and aviary birds through to horses, sheep, goats, alpacas, pigs and pet rabbits — all milled in Australia from Australian grain. Bags are 20kg as a rule, with a few 10kg, 22kg and 30kg lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing a poultry feed\u003c\/strong\u003e — the biggest mistake in a backyard flock is feeding layer calcium to birds that are not laying yet.

Between the layer options, a grain blend like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/laucke-mills-red-hen-layer-poultry-feed\"\u003eRed Hen Layer\u003c\/a\u003e is more interesting for the birds but can be sorted through; a crumble like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/laucke-mills-red-hen-seventeen-layer-crumbles\"\u003eRed Hen Se17enteen\u003c\/a\u003e or a micro pellet like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/laucke-mills-showbird-breeder-micro-pellets\"\u003eShowbird Breeder MP\u003c\/a\u003e means every bird gets the full mineral and vitamin ration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing a horse feed\u003c\/strong\u003e — the Equus range is graded by energy rather than by breed. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/laucke-mills-cool-horse-pony-feed-pellets\"\u003eCool Horse \u0026amp; Pony\u003c\/a\u003e is the low-key option for light work, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/laucke-mills-cool-plus-horse-feed-pellets\"\u003eCool Plus\u003c\/a\u003e steps it up without the fizz of grain, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/laucke-mills-elite-breed-18-horse-feed-pellets\"\u003eElite Breed 18\u003c\/a\u003e is for lactating mares and growing stock.

Check the individual product page for delivery and pickup options before ordering, and plan vermin-proof storage: a 20kg bag lasts a small flock or a couple of rabbits a long time, and feed keeps far better in a sealed bin than in the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bird-food\"\u003eBird Food\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/small-animal-supplies\"\u003eSmall Animal Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dry-dog-food\"\u003eDry Dog Food\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fish-supplies\"\u003eFish \u0026amp; Aquatic Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/collections\/laucke-mills.oembed","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
