Chicken Grains & Feed

Explore oUR Egg Market & Consulting Options


Chicken feed input costs and pricing

Corn and soy are the two major input costs in the grains used for chicken feed. Egg producers’ and grain suppliers’ knowledge of these input costs is often the basis of price agreements in standard market conditions. Cost-plus deals are also common, reflecting these inputs’ prices as well as a premium for services. 

Eggs Unlimited tracks the soy and corn market through our regular conversations with egg industry titans. We use the trends and prices we observe to analyze and predict future prices. We then create deals amenable to both egg producers and grain suppliers.

How often are hens fed?

In industrial settings, hens must be provided fresh feed on a daily basis in accordance with United Egg Producers (UEP) standards. This fresh feed must be constantly accessible and free of mold, insects, rodents, litter, or waste. Water must be similarly accessible around the clock.

Certifications

Hens that eat organic feed and meet USDA criteria produce organic eggs. Grain suppliers within the Eggs Unlimited network offer certified organic feed, and Eggs Unlimited sources USDA organic, cage-free, and free-range eggs. We also offer product with UEP certification and Humane Certified® pasture-raised recognition from Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC).
