Essential Guide to Chicken Health

Ensuring your feathered friends thrive starts with understanding their daily needs. From the quality of their grit to the security of their coop, every detail matters for a happy flock.

Nutrition & Pecking Orders

Chickens are naturally curious and spend much of their day foraging. While high-quality layers pellets are the foundation of their diet, supplementing with fresh greens and corn treats (in moderation!) keeps them engaged. Always ensure they have access to clean, fresh water—a hen can drink up to half a liter a day in warm Cornish summers!
