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: Is this good for feather quality?
A: Yes! The omega-3-rich seeds directly support feather growth and skin health, especially during winter stress.
Q: Can I give this to young chickens?

Q: What makes this a winter product?
