Keeping Happy Hens

Simple ways to keep your hens healthy, active and content

Happy hens thrive on good care, a balanced diet, natural enrichment, and a routine that keeps them comfortable and curious.

Good nutrition

Hens need a balanced base diet, with treats used sensibly alongside their main feed.

Natural enrichment

Opportunities to peck, scratch and forage help keep hens active and engaged.

Routine and comfort

Clean housing, fresh water, and a calm daily routine all contribute to healthy, happy birds.

Enrichment

Why variety matters

Hens are naturally curious. They enjoy scratching, pecking and exploring their surroundings.

Giving them variety in how they feed can help support natural behaviours and make everyday life more stimulating.

Simple treats can be part of that, especially when used in a way that encourages interest and activity.

Feeding

Keep it simple

The best feeding routines are clear and easy to stick to.

Treats should complement a balanced diet, not replace it. A simple rule of thumb and easy pack sizing can make that much easier.

That is why we focus on straightforward feeding guidance based on flock size.
