Chickens need quality feed, clean water, suitable housing, parasite control, and regular access to grit or calcium depending on their age and purpose.
The best feed depends on your chickens’ age and stage. Layers generally need layer pellets or mash, while chicks and growers require feed suited to their development.
Supplements can help support egg production, shell strength, recovery from stress, and general flock health, especially during seasonal changes or illness.
Store feed in sealed containers, clean up spills quickly, and use suitable treadle feeders that reduce waste and make access harder for rats, mice, and wild birds.
Worming needs depend on your flock, environment, and product directions. Always follow the label instructions and seek veterinary advice if you are unsure.
Useful poultry supplies include quality feed, feeders, drinkers, grit, shell grit or calcium, supplements, pest control products, and basic health treatments.
