Healthy chickens need good nutrition year-round, especially during molting and colder weather. Coop Cravings Egg Boost provides extra protein to support feather growth and repair, which matters so much because, fun fact: feathers are made mostly of protein. I love fun facts!
Healthy feathers help keep their body heat in, while good fats in their diet provide extra energy to help them stay warm when temperatures drop. Protein also supports their overall health and immune system. And the marigolds? They help give your egg yolks that beautiful, vibrant color! Red pepper adds another little boost to their diet, too.
One thing I really love is finding treats my mixed flock can enjoy together. When you have chickens, ducks, or even turkeys all wandering around the homestead together, being able to share the same snacks makes life a whole lot easier!
