• Balanced Diet: Adult hens and roosters need a mix of grains, protein, calcium (for strong eggshells), and grit to aid digestion.
• Foraging Benefits: Free-ranging allows chickens to supplement their diet with insects, seeds, and greens, improving egg quality and overall health.
• Hydration is Key: In warm weather, ensure they have fresh, clean water at all times. Adding electrolytes can prevent dehydration.
• Shade & Dust Baths: Chickens cool off by dust bathing and resting in the shade. Providing extra shelter helps prevent overheating.
• Treats in Moderation: While scraps like fruits and veggies are great, avoid salty, sugary, or processed foods
