Winter Wonder Mix
Winter treats for your chickens serve a couple of important purposes. They should be filling and provide lots of nutrients and energy. High-protein, high-carb, high energy high-fat foods to help give your chickens what they need to stay warm and to keep weight on.
Your chickens will be burning extra calories trying to stay warm through the winter, so a little extra fat isn't a bad idea. Since chickens hold the food they eat all day in their crop then digest it overnight, that creates warmth for them through the energy they expend digesting what they've eaten.
This 100% natural blend is packed full of protein, amino fats and vitamins to help your chooks during the colder weather and be at their best coming into Spring.
Contains-
Dried Mealworms- packed full of protein, vitamins and high-grade edible oils.
