The Talis Flock Nutrition Standard

Layer hens have high nutritional demands — especially for calcium and protein. A quality flock diet goes far beyond commercial pellets alone. Every product in our hub meets the Talis natural nutrition standard.

  • ✓ Quality layer pellets or crumble as the dietary base — 16–18% protein
  • ✓ Black soldier fly larvae or mealworms as a high-protein daily supplement
  • ✓ Free-choice oyster shell calcium — essential for strong eggshells
  • ✓ Fermented feed to boost gut health, nutrient absorption, and egg quality
  • ✓ Herbs: oregano, garlic, and lavender for natural health and coop wellness

Seasonal Care Calendar

Care Your Flock Through Every Season

Chickens' needs shift dramatically with the seasons. Here's what to focus on quarter by quarter to keep your flock healthy year-round.

🌱

Season 01

Spring

Chick brooding, reintroduction of new flock members, deworming check, coop deep clean after winter, and boost foraging access as grass returns.

☀️

Season 02

Summer

Heat stress management — electrolytes in water, shade structures, frozen treat enrichment, and mite checks during warm humid months.

🍂

Season 03

Autumn

Moult support with high-protein supplements, reduced egg production is normal, build up fat reserves with calorie-dense treats before winter.

❄️

Season 04

Winter

Coop insulation without draft sealing, warm high-energy feeds, suet blocks, limit supplemental lighting to allow natural rest cycles.
