Layers pellets usually contains around 16% protein

Breeders pellets is a higher grade pellet which contains 18% protein.

🧺🧼🧹🧽disinfectant🧽🧹🧼🧺

Once you've cleaned out your birds it's always worth disinfecting the pens and runs to kill of any germs and bacteria

This stuff is great, fill up a 5 litre sprayer and spray away. Safe to use around all animals.
