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 built to search, scratch and peck. A moving treat makes those behaviours part of feeding time: scatter Live Calci Worms around the run and let the flock work for every wriggle. It is an easy way to add visible activity and variety alongside their balanced ration.

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.
