Product Information

Full details

SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra is designed for poultry owners seeking a nutrient-rich supplement to enhance their chickens' health and egg production. Its primary benefit is providing essential energy and protein for strong feather development, sharp beaks, and improved egg quality. A potential consideration is that this is a supplementary feed and should not be the sole diet for chickens.

FAQs

Is SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra a complete diet for chickens?

No, SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra is a supplementary feed. It should be given in addition to a balanced commercial layer feed or appropriate primary diet.

How much SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra should I give my chickens?

Offer it as a treat. A general guideline is no more than 10% of their total daily intake to ensure they still consume their balanced main feed.

When is the best time to feed this to my chickens?

Many owners find late afternoon to be a good time for treats, allowing chickens to enjoy scratching and pecking before roosting.

Can I feed this to chicks?

This corn blend is typically formulated for adult free-range chickens. Chicks require a specialized starter feed with a different nutrient profile.

How should I store the unused corn?

Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. This prevents moisture from degrading the quality and helps keep pests away.

What are the main benefits of this product?

It provides extra energy, supports feather health, and encourages natural foraging behaviors, contributing to the overall well-being and activity of your chickens.

Does this product guarantee larger or tastier eggs?

While the nutrients in this blend support hen health which can contribute to egg quality and potentially taste, results can vary between individual birds and their overall diet.

Troubleshooting

Chickens are not eating the corn

Ensure this is offered as a supplement and not their primary food source. Try scattering it more widely or introducing it in smaller quantities.

Corn appears stale or moldy

Check the expiration date and storage conditions. Discard if it shows signs of mold or an off-smell. Store in a dry, sealed environment.

Attracting unwanted pests (rodents, wild birds)

Only feed the amount your chickens can consume in a short period. Store uneaten portions in a sealed, rodent-proof container. Avoid leaving food out overnight.

  • Easy to store and handle due to sealed packaging.

Cons

  • It is a supplementary feed and should not replace a balanced primary diet.
  • May attract pests if not stored properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Usage: Scatter SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra on the ground for your chickens to peck and scratch at. It is recommended as a supplement to a balanced layer feed, not as a complete diet. Introduce it gradually to observe your chickens' reaction.

Compatibility: Suitable for all types of free-range chickens, including layers, broilers, and bantams. Ensure it complements their primary feed for a balanced nutritional intake.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the sealed bag closed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage helps prevent spoilage and deters pests.
