6 Wintertime Treats to Boost Your Chicken's Diet!

  • High-protein snacks: Throw in some mealworms, black oil sunflower seeds, or even scrambled eggs to give 'em the extra energy they need when it’s cold.

  • Calcium: Don’t forget the calcium for those eggshells! Oyster shell or a good calcium supplement will do the trick.

  • Greens and veggies: Even in the winter, chickens love some fresh greens. Toss 'em some kale, spinach, or cabbage to keep 'em happy and healthy.

  • Warm oatmeal or porridge: A warm breakfast on chilly mornings can give 'em a boost of energy and help with hydration.

  • Grit: Make sure they’ve got plenty of grit so they can properly digest all those grains, especially if you’re giving 'em extra corn.

  • Fatty treats: A little fat, like suet or lard, gives 'em extra energy to help stay warm through the winter chill.


And don’t forget to keep that water fresh and unfrozen – hydration’s still important, even when the temps drop!
