Cleaner Inputs. Stronger Systems. Health from the Ground Up.
Choosing the right feed for your backyard chickens is one of the most important decisions a keeper can make.
Whether you’re raising hens for fresh eggs, companionship, or to live more sustainably, feed is the foundation of their health. And when it comes to clean, complete nutrition organic feed stands apart.
There’s a reason more backyard keepers are switching to organic. And it’s not just about going “natural” for the sake of it.
Organic feed isn’t a trend. It’s a return to clean inputs, thoughtful farming, and supporting animal health without synthetic shortcuts.
That includes the one system we rarely see, but rely on every day: immunity.
Immunity starts in the gut
Most of a chicken’s immune system lives in its digestive tract. That’s where good bacteria thrive, nutrients are absorbed, and defences are quietly built.
When that system is clean, balanced, and undisturbed, it does its job beautifully.
But throw in pesticide residues, synthetic additives, or gut-disrupting proteins, and the system starts to wobble. Birds get bloated, sluggish, and more prone to infection or stress-related drop-off.
That’s why organic matters.
What organic feed leaves out
Does organic feed boost immunity? Not exactly — but nutrition does
Organic feed creates the clean foundation — free from chemical residues, artificial proteins, or synthetic stimulants. That’s critical for gut health, which in turn supports natural immunity.
But it’s our nutrition-focused formulation that does the heavy lifting.
At Aus Organic Feeds, we layer essential macro and micro nutrients into every blend based on:
- Life stage (chick, grower, layer)
- Seasonal needs (moult, heat, stress)
- Feeding environments (coop-only, forager, mixed)
That means the feed isn’t just organic — it’s built to work. With the right amino acids, minerals, and energy sources to support immunity, laying strength, recovery and condition.
Certified organic feed is more than a label. It means your hens’ daily diet is free from:
- Synthetic pesticides and herbicides
- GMO grains or artificial amino acids
- Antibiotics or chemical coccidiostats
- Residue from seed treatments or growth promotants
Organic farms must maintain chemical-free paddocks for a full **three years** before grain can be certified. That means no hidden residues — just clean, natural grain that gives peace of mind and protects your hens’ guts from harsh chemical load.
Where Aus Organic Feeds fits in
Our layer and grower feeds are built for this exact approach:
- Organic Chick Grower Crumble for early gut strength and clean growth
- Complete Layer Pellet for consistent base nutrition
- Egg Booster when hens are under pressure — moult, cold snaps, or recovery
- Ultimate Scratch Mix to rotate or enrich without synthetic inputs.
Each blend is certified organic, proudly Australian, and made with one simple goal: to feed with care, clarity, and no compromises.
Feed the animals you love. Support the systems they rely on. And let nature take the lead — one clean meal at a time.
Organic Certification means that the farm inputs are carefully controlled. All organic farms must display signs that indicate visitors must respect organic requirements.
Aus Organic Feeds grain mill is also Certified Organic. All Certified Organic operators must display their certification number. You can see ours on the certification logo on our products.
Both farm and mill are audited annually to ensure that organic practices are followed, and since we buy directly from the farm before we mill our feed and bag it for you, you can be sure the supply chain is clean and uncontaminated by pesticides or GMOs.
