Layer feed has a different dietary structure that includes more calcium to stimulate proper egg production in newly laying hens.

Crumble and pellets are often the key presentation of flock raiser food, as it's simple for chicks and chickens alike to eat and digest.
Shell grit has two functions - one, it helps the gizzard break down food correctly, and two, it includes additional calcium to your chicken's diet. Calcium is needed for correct nutrition regardless, but it's especially crucial for egg-laying chickens.
