Who It’s For
Perfect for laying hens, bantams, and flocks of all breeds who benefit from a mash form — especially free-range or mixed age groups.

How to Feed Them
– Offer as a daily feed using a clean feeder or trough, particularly in early morning or at midday when hens are active.
– Scatter some on the run to promote scratching and foraging behaviour.
– Always provide fresh water and ensure grit is available for digestion.

Best Served In
✅ Shallow hopper or tray for easy access
✅ Run scatter to encourage activity
🚫 Avoid simply topping on deep feeders intended for pellets

Wiggly Tip:
If you find your hens pick around pellets, try switching to mash for a week – often the softer texture gets them feeding enthusiastically again.

At Wiggly Wigglers, based on the Lower Blakemere Farm in Herefordshire, we produce our own Bokashi and pack our feeds with regenerative farming in mind. Every bag supports our soil health programmes, hedgerow planting and bird-friendly habitats alongside your flock.

Sustainability & Packaging
– Ingredients grown in the UK to minimise food miles.
– Mash mixed, packed and shipped from our farm direct to you.
– Returnable and recyclable packaging options to reduce waste.

Wiggly Tip:
Once the bag is empty, fold it down and store next to your compost corner — the Bokashi in the mash makes the manure ideal for rapid composting.

Mash is typically more finely ground than pellets, making it easier for hens to digest and perfect for encouraging natural scratching behaviour. The added Bokashi brings beneficial microbes (including lactic acid bacteria and yeasts), which support gut health, improve nutrient absorption and reduce odour in the coop. With better digestion, hens lay stronger-shelled eggs, produce healthier manure and stay in better condition overall.

Wiggly Tip:
Mix the mash with a little warm water in a shallow tray once a week to simulate wet scratch feed — your hens will love the change in texture.

Storage & Freshness
– Store in a cool, dry place away from damp and rodents.
– Once opened, reseal the bag or use an airtight container.
– Use within 3-4 months for best quality.

Wiggly Tips:
– Clean feeders weekly to prevent spoilage of the fine mash.
– Make sure water is always available – mash relies on hydrated birds.
– If you have dust issues, scatter outside the run before topping up to reduce airborne fine particles.
