Topflite Scratch and Lay for Chickens is a premium mix for backyard chooks that provides optimal nutrition.

Through careful research and advice from poultry nutrition experts, the NZ company formulated a combination of grains, pulses, seeds, grit and high-protein pellets.

And the chickens love this grit!

The variety of ingredients in Topflite Scratch and Lay provides endless fodder for foraging, and keeps chickens busy, happy and well-fed.

We stand by the sources of the ingredients – quite literally, in fact.

Topflite Scratch and Lay is mixed in Oamaru with canary seed, sunflower seed, wheat, barley and blue peas from our growers down the road.

Add kibbled maize from selected NZ farms, Southland-grown oats, Bluff oyster shell grit and high-protein pellets and your chooks have a mix of real homemade goodness at their feet.

Topflite Scratch and Lay key benefits:

• Meets the 16% protein requirement for laying chickens
• Free of ruminant protein; contains soy-based pellets
• New Zealand-grown grains, seeds and pulses
• The best in the bok-bok-bok business for laying hens

We recommend supplying around 150g per chicken, per day.

To keep Topflite Scratch and Lay fresh, it’s best to only store around three months’ supply at a time.

Based in Oamaru, Topflite started out growing bird seed in the 1970s, and has since extended its range by creating new feed and flavours for other much-loved pets, including dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and ducks.

The family-run company’s approach to delivering quality feed is about growing exceptional raw material and never losing sight of the diners’ nutritional needs.

A good balanced diet, high in natural vitamins and minerals, ensures animals can grow to full potential and live happily and healthily.
