Six reasons to choose Grain du Coin

The real differences.
Simply explained.

01
🗓️
Seasonal, like your hens
A hen doesn't have the same needs at -20°C as at +30°C. In winter she burns energy staying warm. In summer she eats less and drinks more. Our two laying formulas adapt to both realities — something no competitor in Quebec does.
02
🌿
Omega-3 in every formula
Flaxseeds are present in all 5 products — from chick to layer. Omega-3 goes directly into the egg. No need to buy a separate supplement. Your eggs will be naturally richer, with a more orange yolk.
03
🦴
Progressive calcium, protected kidneys
Our range starts at 1% calcium for chicks and climbs gradually to 4.25% for winter layers. Every stage is calibrated. Too much calcium too early causes permanent, irreversible kidney damage — we avoid it carefully.
04
🇨🇦
100% made in Quebec
Corn, wheat, barley, peas, flaxseeds — Quebec grains processed at Meunerie St-Frédéric in Val-des-Sources. You support the local economy with every bag. And you can tell your customers.
05
📋
The pre-lay phase — finally available
PO-PRELAY (14–18 weeks) is the most neglected phase in pullet raising. Going straight from growth to laying without a transition stresses the ovaries and causes disappointing first eggs. We're one of the few to offer this transition formula.
06
💊
Zero supplements needed
Calcium, vitamins, minerals, omega-3 — all integrated in the formula. Give the right feed for the right phase, that's it. No separate oyster shells, no vitamin complex to buy. Simplified so it works.
Flaxseeds · Omega-3

Richer eggs.
Without changing a thing.

Flaxseeds contain omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) that transfer directly into the egg. A hen fed Grain du Coin produces naturally omega-3 enriched eggs — no capsules, no supplements, no manipulation.

1
The hen eats the feed — flaxseeds are integrated in every Grain du Coin formula.
2
Omega-3 transfers into the yolk — within 3 to 5 days, fatty acids end up in the egg.
3
Your eggs are naturally enriched — more orange, firmer, more nutritious yolk. You can put it on your label.
