FAQ
Q: How many hens will this feed?
A: Each sachet will feed up to 4-6 hens as a supplement to their normal diet. A little goes a long way.
Q: Do chickens like porridge?
A: Yes! It’s a great winter treat on cold mornings. Most hens love it. Feed no more than 3 times a week.
Q: How do I prepare it?
A: Add hot water to cover the oats, stir well, then leave to cool for 10 minutes. Stir again before serving. Never feed while too hot.
Q: Why is B12 important for my chickens?
A: B12 is essential for a strong immune system and healthy cognitive brain function, especially important during winter stress. It also supports motor skills and overall nervous system health.
Q: Is banana good for chickens?
A: Yes! Banana is a natural source of Vitamin B12 and potassium. Both are important for hens’ overall health and wellbeing, particularly during the colder months when they’re under seasonal stress.
Q: Can I give this to young chickens?
A: No. Not suitable for hens younger than 4 months. Start with regular starter crumbs until they reach 4 months.
Q: Is this a replacement for regular feed?
A: No. This is a complementary treat, never replace a complete pellet feed (Layers or Growers).
Q: What makes this a winter product?
A: Rolling oats provide slow-release energy for warmth. B12 supports immune function during winter stress. Banana provides potassium for overall health when natural foraging is limited.
Q: Can I use cold water instead of hot?
A: You can, but hot water helps oats soften properly. Cold water takes much longer.
Q: How long does one sachet last?
A: One sachet provides one serving for 4-6 hens (approximately 50gm per serving).
Q: Is this hand-made?
A: Yes. All Forager treat bags are hand-made to order by Pipinchick Poultry. Allow 24 hours from payment to dispatch.
