Owning and raising chickens, hens or roosters can be a lot of fun, but it will also require some basic supplies.
Providing your chicken with their vital food, water and environmental needs are all important aspects of maintaining a healthy and producing flock. And just like any animal, chickens have their own nutritional needs.
They need protein for their health and to lay eggs. For their daily diet, chickens need greens and grains to be the primary source of their vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Look for a chicken food containing high-quality sources of proteins and wholesome grains. Giving your chickens a nutrient-rich diet can help hens produce plenty of strong-shelled eggs with rich, yellow yolks.
High-quality complete layer chicken feed will generally come in the form of a mash, crumble or pellets. You can feed it to your chickens through a feeder tray or by scattering it in the yard. In addition to daily food, you can find treats and supplements for your poultry pals to enjoy. And don’t forget, all chickens need water, and a chicken water feeder is a must for every coop. You’ll want to ensure it’s covered, regularly cleaned, refreshed and accessible to your chickens year-round.
An important part of the health of your hens is providing them with the proper chicken habitat—a chicken coop. Your coop will be like a birdhouse but serve multiple functions for your hens. It provides a comfortable place for them to sleep at night and a safe resting space throughout the daytime. The coop is important to keep your chickens warm in the colder months and provide them with a place to nest and lay eggs.
Your coop will need chicken nesting boxes. These provide hens with a quiet, secluded place to lay their eggs. They may be quite picky about what they are willing to accept as a nesting box, so you may have to experiment with different options and placements. Most hens prefer darker, drier parts of their environment with clean bedding for nesting.
Other important chicken coop accessories include a roosting bar for them to sleep on and other elements like an outdoor run adjacent to the coop.

What are some of the best staple feeders to give a baby, juvenile and adult bearded dragon?
Hello, Im not sure if you help with pet chickens but if you do i need help with mine, I have four chickens their all female and are around 7 months old i raised them sense they were chicks. One of them is getting pale, smaller, more tired and not moving, she stopped laying eggs, and is pooping neon yellowish. What should i do?
I am getting an 8 week Cocker Spaniel. I am not new to Cocker Spaniel, just puppy versions. I want to try a new food for her, and need suggestions. I did research & came across these dry foods: Merrick Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Merrick Limited Ingredient Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Taste of Wild Pacific Stream Grain Free Smoked Salmon, Taste of Wild Appalachian Valley Small Bree’s Grain after Roasted Venison. Are any of those good, if so which one? Want to stay chicken free.
My cockatiel has been eating Leferber’s Premium Daily Diet pellets as a staple diet. She’s also been eating broccoli everyday. I also give her a bit of crushed eggshells once or twice a week. She has a cuttlebone available at all times. I’m wondering if this would be an okay product to give her? She isn’t much of a veggie eater. Will this be beneficial or unnecessary for her? I’m including the details of the product in attached photos. I do feed her some seeds as a treat sometimes. Thank you.
Is chicken or beef sautéed in AVACADO oil safe to feed?
My mom got my Fluff guinea pig from the store. It has stuff I don’t know what it is. It has peanuts with the shell to. My sister told me they can’t have the internet said they can but not to many. It has something I can’t identify. It’s pebbles are so much bigger than his other food and there is sunflower seeds. I would rather be safe than sorry. Are Guinea pigs able to have this stuff. The food Leave some sort of food dust on my hands.
Please advise the medicine for roosters to get aggressive. And also caugh tablets for roosters.
Can I give eggs to Mike? Should I cook them or raw eggs won't harm him? The websites on the internet are really confusing. What are the rich sources of protein that I can include in his homemade food?
Hello , How good is raw chicken compared to cooked ones in feed dogs? And Any advantages and disadvantages that can guide me?? Thanks
Hello, I am I first time chicken owner. I have had my girls for about 6 months now I got all 6 of them from the same place at the same time, they have been together the entire time. They are now laying eggs. Within the last week 3 of my girls have developed a patch on them. The patch is missing feathers and looks like a scab. It is on the same area on all 3 of them. I am extremely worried about them. The area is on their side after the wings and lower than the tail feathers.
My chicken's so weak,he won't eat and his feathers are falling off , one of his legs has become swollen,dark,and has a weird colour , I'm very scared cuz he doesn't respond much ,its so weak that he can't stand ,what can I do?
