What Makes It Special?

Coop Cookies aren't just treats - they're enrichment tools that tap into your chickens' natural instincts. Each 7cm cookie is hard-pressed under high pressure, creating a durable treat that your flock will peck, chase, and work at throughout the day. This mental and physical stimulation is crucial for happy, healthy chickens.

Built on a nutrient-rich alfalfa base and studded with marigold flowers and herbs, these cookies offer a fragrant, irresistible aroma that will have your chickens running over. The combination of botanicals provides antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals while the hard texture promotes natural foraging behaviour that keeps chickens engaged for hours.

Enrichment treats like these are essential for preventing behavioral issues. When chickens are bored, they can develop destructive habits like feather pecking or aggression. By giving them something to peck, scratch, and explore, you're supporting their mental well-being while supplementing their nutrition with premium ingredients.

Perfect for: Daily enrichment, preventing boredom and feather pecking, encouraging natural foraging behaviour, supplementing nutrition, keeping chickens entertained in runs or coops

FAQ's

How often can I feed Coop Cookies to my chickens?

These cookies are a complementary feed that can be offered daily. We recommend 1-2 cookies per day for a small flock of 4-6 chickens. They're designed to provide hours of pecking entertainment while supplementing nutrition.

How many cookies are in a 700g pouch?

Each pouch contains approximately 10-12 cookies, depending on slight variations in size. Each cookie is approximately 7cm in diameter and designed to last while your chickens peck and work at it.

Why are the cookies so hard?

The hard-pressed format is intentional! It encourages natural foraging and pecking behaviour, keeping your chickens entertained for longer periods. As they peck and scratch, they're engaging in natural behaviours that promote mental and physical well-being.

Where should I place the cookies?

Simply scatter them on the ground in your chickens' run or coop area. You can also place them on a clean surface or in a shallow dish. Avoid muddy or wet areas to keep the cookies clean and appealing.

Will these cookies prevent feather pecking?

While no single product can guarantee prevention of behavioral issues, enrichment treats like Coop Cookies significantly help by keeping chickens mentally stimulated and engaged. Bored chickens are more likely to develop destructive habits like feather pecking.

Can I feed these to chicks?

These cookies are formulated for adult chickens. For chicks under 8 weeks old, stick to starter feed. After 8 weeks, you can offer small pieces under supervision.

Will this replace my chickens' regular 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.

Is this suitable for all chicken breeds?

Yes! Coop Cookies are suitable for all breeds of chickens, from bantams to large fowl. The hard texture is appropriate for adult birds of any size.

How should I store the cookies?

Keep the pouch sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. The cookies should remain hard and fresh for up to 6 months after opening.

My chickens seem unsure about the cookies. What should I do?

Some chickens may take time to investigate new items. Try breaking a cookie into smaller pieces initially, or place it near their favorite scratching area. Once one chicken starts pecking, others will quickly join in.

Can these help with egg yolk color?

Yes! The marigold flowers in these cookies are rich in carotenoids that naturally enhance yolk color, producing richer, more golden yolks.

Will these cookies dissolve in rain?

While the cookies are hard-pressed, they're not waterproof. Place them in covered areas or remove any uneaten portions if rain is expected. Replace with fresh cookies once the weather clears.

Can I feed these to ducks or other poultry?

While the ingredients are safe for most poultry, these cookies are specifically designed for chickens and their foraging behaviors. Ducks have different feeding habits and nutritional needs.

Do these cookies contain any artificial ingredients?

No! Coop Cookies are made entirely from natural botanical ingredients with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Just pure, pressed herbs, flowers, and grains.
