Healthy chickens lay delicious eggs, and you get healthy chickens from high quality chicken feed. Finding the appropriate feed with the proper nutritional balance is critical and the experts at Pets Pets Pets in Califon are here to assist you.
Chickens will eat anything from grain to insects, and even animal items depending on how small the pieces are. Additionally, they need a varied variety of nutrients in order to not only lay eggs but lay eggs that are nutritionally dense.
Chick starter and grower feeds are loaded with calories, especially from protein - to help your chicks grow, strengthening their immune systems, and enhancing their total health and wellness. Grower feed is essential for healthy chickens.
Layer feed has a different dietary structure that consists of more calcium to stimulate proper egg production in newly laying chickens.
Flock raiser offers a well balanced nutrition when you have a mixed flock of chickens. It's much easier to use and still gives fantastic nutrition.
Crumble and pellets are commonly the main presentation of flock raiser food, as it's simple for chicks and chickens alike to eat and digest.
Shell grit has two objectives - one, it helps the gizzard break down food properly, and two, it adds additional calcium to your chicken's diet. Calcium is needed for correct nutrition regardless, but it's particularly vital for egg-laying hens.
Cracked corn isn't a great feed - it's calorie-dense but not big on nutrition. Regardless, it's a nice treat for your chickens, it's very inexpensive and in a pinch, it can be used to feed your chickens if you've got nothing else on hand.
