Feeding Guide
Simple feeding guidance for Live Calci Worms
Feed 10g of The Happy Hen Co. Live Calci Worms per hen per day as a complementary treat alongside balanced layers feed and fresh water. Multiply the number of hens by 10g for the daily amount, or by 70g for a seven-day amount.

Rule of thumb
Feed around 10g per hen per day
This gives you a simple way to work out how much your hens need each week. Our Live Calci Worms packs are sized around that daily amount.
This amount applies to The Happy Hen Co. product. Follow the label supplied with the product you bought if you are using another brand.

How it works
Choose by flock size
We have designed our pack sizes to match the number of hens you keep, based on a full week of feeding. The minimum order is now for 2 hens.
That means you can pick the option that matches your flock rather than trying to calculate weights yourself every time.
It is a simple way to keep feeding consistent and easy to manage.
Treats and balance
Use as part of a balanced diet
Live Calci Worms are a treat and should sit alongside your hens’ usual balanced feed.
They are a simple way to add variety and enrichment, while still keeping your feeding routine sensible and straightforward.
Fresh water and a good base diet should always remain the foundation.
One-off or subscription
Choose what suits you best
You can order one-off whenever you need it, or choose a weekly subscription for a simpler routine.
Subscriptions save 20% versus one-off orders. We pack ongoing weekly subscription orders every Tuesday, with shipping shown clearly before checkout.
For regular feeding, subscription is usually the easiest option.
