Rule the Roost

Chickens need a balanced diet to stay healthy, active, and be able to lay strong eggs. Most of their nutrition should come from a complete feed, such as starter, grower, or layer pellets depending on their age. This feed provides the right mix of protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Alongside their main food, chickens enjoy a variety of healthy extras like vegetable treats, herbs, and a small amounts of fruit treats. They also benefit from protein-rich treats such as dried insects, especially during moulting.

Grit is essential to help them grind and digest their food properly. With the right mix of complete feed, healthy treats, and constant access to water and grit, your little fluffy friend will thrive and stay happy.
