A Balanced Diet for Healthy Chickens

A balanced diet is essential to keep your chickens healthy, productive, and happy. Protein is a key nutrient for growth, feather development, and egg production. Hatortempt's dried mealworms are an excellent protein source, especially during molting or colder seasons. Carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals also play vital roles in maintaining their energy, strong eggshells, and overall health.

While commercial feed provides a good base, you can enhance your flock's diet with fresh greens, vegetables, grains, seeds, and calcium supplements like crushed oyster shells. Clean, fresh water is equally important to ensure proper digestion and hydration throughout the year.

Adjust their diet for seasonal changes—more energy-rich grains in winter or nutrient-dense feed during molting. A well-rounded diet, including treats and supplements, ensures your chickens thrive. Find everything you need for their care at gonorthshop.com
