Comment nourrir

Scatter generously on clean ground or mix with hot water for a warming porridge.

Feeding Guide: This is a complementary treat best offered in the afternoon after your chickens have eaten their main layers feed. Scatter 50-75g per chicken (approximately 2-3 handfuls for a small flock), or for porridge, add hot water until you achieve desired consistency, allow to cool, and serve in bowls.

Storage: Keep tub sealed and store in a cool, dry place. Use within 6 months of opening for best freshness.

Qu'est-ce qui le rend si spécial ?

This isn't your ordinary scratch mix - it's a carefully crafted blend that adapts to your flock's needs throughout the year. In summer, scatter it dry and watch your chickens enthusiastically forage through the colourful mix of fruits, grains, and seeds. When winter arrives, transform the same blend into a warming porridge that provides comfort and energy when your flock needs it most.

The micronized grains are key to this formula's success. Micronization is a heat treatment process that improves digestibility, meaning your chickens extract more nutrition from every bite. Combined with protein-rich naked oats, antioxidant-packed cranberries and apricots, and calcium-providing oyster shell, this mix delivers comprehensive wellness support in one convenient product.

What chicken keepers particularly appreciate is the convenience of the resealable tub - no more struggling with torn bags or worrying about freshness. The visual appeal of the colourful fruits mixed with golden grains makes feeding time a pleasure, whilst the quality ingredients ensure your investment delivers real health benefits rather than just empty calories.

Perfect for: Year-round feeding versatility, encouraging natural foraging behaviour, cold weather warming treats, supporting overall health and nutrition, calcium supplementation, keeping chickens entertained

How often can I feed this treat mix?

This is a complementary treat best offered in the afternoon after your chickens have consumed their main layers feed. You can feed it daily, but remember treats should only make up around 10% of your chickens' total diet.

What's the difference between the 600g and 1.2kg sizes?

Both contain exactly the same premium blend - the only difference is quantity. The 600g tub is perfect for smaller flocks or trying the product, whilst the 1.2kg tub offers better value for larger flocks or regular users.

How do I make it into a porridge?

Add hot water gradually to your desired amount of mix, stirring until you achieve a thick, porridge-like consistency. Allow it to cool to a safe temperature before serving in clean bowls or feeders.

Should I feed it dry or as porridge?

Both ways are excellent! Feed dry in warm weather to encourage foraging behaviour and mental stimulation. Make porridge during cold weather to provide warming comfort and help chickens maintain body temperature.

How much should I feed per chicken?

For dry feeding, scatter approximately 50-75g per chicken (about 2-3 handfuls for a small flock). For porridge, use similar amounts but remember it expands when wet, so start with less and adjust as needed.

Est-ce que je peux donner ça à manger aux poussins ?

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 gradually.

Will this replace my chickens' layers feed?

No, this is a complementary treat, 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.

Ce produit convient-il à toutes les races de poulets ?

Yes! This treat mix is suitable for all breeds of chickens, from bantams to large fowl. The variety of grain sizes and textures appeals to different bird preferences.

Does the oyster shell provide enough calcium?

The oyster shell in this mix provides supplemental calcium, but laying hens should still have access to oyster shell or grit separately to ensure they can self-regulate their calcium intake according to their individual needs.

How should I store the tub once opened?

Keep the lid sealed tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests. The resealable tub design helps maintain freshness for up to 6 months after opening.

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

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

Can I scatter this in muddy areas?

It's best to scatter on clean, dry ground to keep the mix appealing and prevent waste. Avoid muddy or wet areas where pieces might become soiled or lost.

Will the fruits 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.
