How to Feed

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

What Makes It Special?

This isn't just another grain mix - it's a vegetable garden in a tub. The aromatic blend of garlic, herbs, and root vegetables creates a savoury profile that chickens find absolutely irresistible, whilst delivering functional nutrition that actively supports their health. The distinctive smell alone will have your flock running over at feeding time.

What sets this blend apart is the inclusion of real dried vegetables alongside premium grains. Carrots provide beta-carotene for immune function and vision, beetroot supports blood quality with its rich mineral content, and parsnip adds valuable vitamins and fibre. The micronized grains ensure optimal digestibility, meaning your chickens extract maximum nutrition from every peck.

The dual-purpose format makes this particularly valuable for year-round feeding. In summer, scatter it dry and watch your chickens enthusiastically forage through the colourful mix. When winter arrives, the same blend transforms into a warming, savoury porridge that provides comfort and energy when your flock needs it most. The convenient resealable tub keeps everything fresh and makes feeding effortless.

Perfect for: Year-round feeding versatility, immune system support, encouraging natural foraging behaviour, cold weather warming treats, supporting overall health with vegetables, calcium supplementation

FAQ's

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.

Does the garlic make it smell strong?

The garlic is blended with vegetables and herbs, creating a pleasant savoury aroma rather than an overwhelming garlic smell. Most chicken keepers find the scent appealing, and chickens love it!

Will the garlic affect the taste of eggs?

No, feeding garlic in these amounts will not negatively affect egg flavour. In fact, many chicken keepers report that eggs from herb and vegetable-fed chickens taste fresher and richer.

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.

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 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.

Is this suitable for all chicken breeds?

Yes! This treat mix is suitable for all breeds of chickens, from bantams to large fowl. The variety of ingredients 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.
