What Makes It Special?

Coop Mix PLUS takes the traditional scratch mix concept and elevates it with functional ingredients that actively support your flock's health. While chickens love scratching for seeds and grains naturally, we've enriched this mix with oregano oil and fenugreek seeds - both known for their digestive and immune-supporting properties.

The variety of grain sizes and textures in this mix keeps chickens engaged longer as they sort through to find their favorites. From tiny millet seeds to larger peas and maize, there's something to appeal to every bird's preference. The fine texture means chickens must work harder to find each piece, extending foraging time and providing valuable mental stimulation.

This isn't just a treat - it's an enrichment tool that reduces boredom, prevents destructive behaviors, and supplements your chickens' diet with beneficial herbs while letting them express natural foraging instincts. Watch as your flock enthusiastically scratches and pecks, getting both exercise and nutrition with every scattered handful.

Perfect for: Daily foraging enrichment, encouraging natural scratching behaviour, preventing boredom, supporting digestive health, keeping chickens active in runs or free-range areas

How often can I feed Coop Mix PLUS to my chickens?

This is a complementary feed that can be offered daily. We recommend scattering 50-75g per chicken (approximately 2-3 handfuls for a small flock) to encourage natural foraging without overfeeding.

How should I scatter the mix?

Scatter generously around the coop, in the run, or on clean ground. Spread it out over a wide area to encourage more scratching and extended foraging time. Avoid muddy or wet areas to keep the mix clean and appetizing.

What makes this different from regular scratch mix?

Coop Mix PLUS is enriched with oregano oil and fenugreek seeds - functional ingredients that actively support digestive health and immunity. It's not just a treat, it's a health-supporting enrichment feed.

Will this help prevent boredom in my chickens?

Absolutely! The fine texture and variety of grain sizes means chickens spend more time scratching and searching for each piece. This natural foraging behaviour keeps them mentally stimulated and physically active, reducing boredom-related issues.

Can I feed this to chicks?

This mix is formulated for adult chickens. For chicks under 8 weeks old, stick to starter feed. After 8 weeks, you can introduce small amounts of this mix gradually.

Will this replace my chickens' regular feed?

No, this is a complementary feed, not a complete feed. Your chickens still need their regular layers pellets or mash as their primary diet to ensure balanced nutrition and consistent egg production.

Is this suitable for all chicken breeds?

Yes! Coop Mix PLUS is suitable for all breeds of chickens, from bantams to large fowl. The variety of grain sizes appeals to different bird preferences.

How should I store this product?

Keep the pouch sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests. The mix will stay fresh for up to 6 months after opening when stored properly.

My chickens pick out certain grains and leave others. Is this normal?

Yes, this is completely normal! Chickens have individual preferences and will often eat their favorites first, then return for the rest. The variety ensures all birds find something they love.

Can this help with feather quality?

Yes! The black rapeseed in this mix is rich in essential fatty acids that support healthy, glossy feathers. Combined with the protein from various grains, it provides good nutritional support for plumage.

Does the oregano oil have a strong smell?

The oregano oil is present in functional amounts rather than overwhelming quantities. You may notice a subtle herbal aroma, but it's not overpowering. Chickens find the mix highly palatable.

Will this attract wild birds or pests?

Like any chicken feed, it may attract wild birds if left scattered for long periods. Only scatter what your chickens will consume within a few hours, and remove any uneaten portions before nightfall to avoid attracting pests.

Can I feed this during winter?

Absolutely! Scatter feeding is excellent year-round. In winter, the energy-rich grains help chickens maintain body temperature, and the foraging activity keeps them moving and engaged even in cold weather.
