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 to provide variety and prevent nutritional imbalance.
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. Be careful not to feed while too hot.
Q: Can I give this to young chickens?
A: No. This product is not suitable for hens younger than 4 months of age. Start with regular starter crumbs or grower pellets until they reach 4 months.
Q: Is this a replacement for regular feed?
A: No. This is a complementary treat to encourage activity and provide additional nutrition during winter. It should never replace a complete pellet feed (Layers or Growers).
Q: What makes this a winter product?
A: The rolled oats provide slow-release energy that helps keep hens warm and active during cold weather. Ginger also aids circulation. It’s designed for when natural foraging is limited and temperatures drop.
Q: Can I use cold water instead of hot?
A: You can, but hot water helps the oats soften properly and creates the porridge texture chickens find appealing. Cold water will take much longer to break down the oats.
Q: How long does one sachet last?
A: One sachet provides one serving for 4-6 hens (approximately 50gm per serving). If you have fewer than 4-6 hens, you can split it across multiple days or share with a friend.
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.
