How to Feed

For mess-free entertainment, slot the Chick Sticks into our Chick Stick Feeder (sold separately) and hang in your coop or run. Alternatively, place sticks loose on a feeding tray or crumble and scatter on the ground to encourage natural scratching and foraging.

Feeding Guide: Feed daily as an enrichment treat. One stick typically lasts 1-2 days for a flock of 4-6 chickens. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your chickens' daily diet. The 6-pack provides approximately 1-2 weeks of entertainment.

Storage: Keep unused sticks in their packaging in a cool, dry place. Use within 3 months of opening for best freshness.

Each 90g stick is perfectly sized for extended pecking sessions without overwhelming smaller flocks.

Ingredients

Wheat Flour, Vegetable Fat, Mixed Seeds, Calcium Powder, Peanut Butter, Seaweed, Parsley, Oregano, Spearmint, Spirulina Powder, Garlic Powder

What Each Ingredient Does

Wheat Flour
Forms the structural base of each stick, providing carbohydrates for energy. The British-sourced flour creates the perfect firm yet peckable texture that holds the stick shape while remaining satisfying to work on.

Vegetable Fat
Binds ingredients together into convenient stick format while providing essential fatty acids for healthy feathers, skin, and overall energy. Creates the ideal consistency for feeder use without crumbling prematurely.

Mixed Seeds
A nutritious blend providing protein, healthy fats, omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Seeds add textural interest and nutritional variety that keeps chickens engaged and pecking.

Calcium Powder
Essential mineral for strong bones and quality eggshell formation in laying hens. Supports skeletal health and ensures consistent egg production with strong shells.

Peanut Butter
High in protein and healthy fats, peanut butter makes these sticks irresistibly aromatic and delicious. The sticky texture helps bind ingredients while supporting muscle development and sustained energy.

Seaweed
Natural source of iodine and trace minerals that supports thyroid function, metabolic health, and overall vitality. Adds natural umami flavour that enhances palatability.

Parsley
Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus minerals including iron and calcium. Supports blood health, immune function, and provides natural antioxidants for overall wellness.

Oregano
Contains powerful natural antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds. Supports digestive health, immune function, and helps maintain healthy gut flora to prevent intestinal issues.

Spearmint
Aids digestion and adds appealing natural flavour. The aromatic properties enhance palatability while providing mild antimicrobial benefits that support digestive hygiene.

Spirulina Powder
A nutrient-dense superfood exceptionally high in protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Supports immune function, overall health, and provides additional protein for quality feather development and muscle maintenance.

Garlic Powder
Natural antimicrobial and immune system booster. May help support respiratory health and act as a natural internal parasite deterrent. Safe and highly beneficial for chickens in appropriate amounts.

How long does the 6-pack last?
The 6-pack typically lasts 1-2 weeks for a flock of 4-6 chickens, with each stick lasting 1-2 days depending on pecking enthusiasm. Larger flocks will work through them faster.

Do I need the Chick Stick Feeder to use these?
No, the feeder is optional but highly recommended! The Chick Stick Feeder keeps everything tidy and maximises entertainment value. Without the feeder, you can place sticks on a feeding tray or crumble and scatter them as loose feed.

How many sticks fit in the Chick Stick Feeder?
The Chick Stick Feeder is designed to hold all six sticks at once, giving your flock multiple pecking points and reducing competition between birds.

Can I break the sticks into smaller pieces?
Absolutely! If you have a smaller flock or want to extend the entertainment, you can break each stick in half or into smaller portions. This also works well for introducing the treats gradually to hesitant chickens.

Will these fit other feeders?
These sticks are specifically designed for our Chick Stick Feeder's dimensions. They may fit other feeders, but we can't guarantee compatibility. When used loose or on trays, they work with any feeding setup.

Are these the same as the Henpecker?
Similar ingredients but different format! Chick Sticks are designed as individual sticks for use with our feeder system, while the Henpecker is a single crumbly block. Chick Sticks offer more flexibility and work perfectly with the dedicated feeder.

How should I introduce these to my flock?
Most chickens take to Chick Sticks immediately. If your flock seems hesitant, break off a small piece and offer it by hand, or crumble some over their regular feed. Once they taste it, they'll be hooked!

Can I use these for chicks?
These treats are formulated for adult chickens (over 16 weeks old). Young chicks should focus on starter feed for proper development. The stick format and ingredients are best suited for mature birds.

What's the difference between feeding in the feeder vs. loose?
Feeder use keeps everything tidy, maximises entertainment value, and prevents waste. Loose feeding encourages more natural foraging and scratching behaviour. Both methods are beneficial - choose based on your setup and goals!

Will these help with feather pecking?
Yes! By providing extended mental stimulation and redirecting natural pecking behaviour toward the treats, Chick Sticks can significantly reduce boredom-related feather pecking. Best results when multiple sticks are available to prevent resource guarding.

Can I hang individual sticks without the feeder?
The sticks aren't designed with built-in hangers like our Hanging Forage Feast, but creative keepers have drilled small holes to thread string through. However, the Chick Stick Feeder is the easiest and most secure hanging method.

Do these need refrigeration?
No refrigeration needed. Store unused sticks in their packaging in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Are these suitable for all chicken breeds?
Yes! All breeds from bantams to large fowl enjoy Chick Sticks. Bantams may take slightly longer to work through each stick, which means longer entertainment for smaller breeds.

Will this attract pests?
Like all chicken treats, these may attract rodents if left accessible overnight. If using in a feeder, we recommend bringing it indoors at dusk, or ensure your coop is rodent-proof.
