FAQs

Is SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra a complete feed?

No, SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra is designed as a supplementary feed. It provides energy and specific nutrients but should be part of a balanced diet that includes a commercial layer feed or other appropriate poultry nutrition.

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

As a general guideline, scatter 1-2 handfuls for every 10 chickens per day. Adjust based on your flock size, activity level, and the rest of their diet. It should be offered as a treat or supplement, not as their main food source.

What are the main benefits of this product?

It provides energy, supports healthy feather and beak development, and contributes to good egg production. It also encourages natural foraging behaviors.

How should I store the product?

Store in the original sealed, clear tub in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is tightly secured after each use to maintain freshness.

Can I feed this to chicks?

This product is formulated for adult free-range chickens. Chicks have specific dietary needs and should be fed chick starter feed.

What is the nutritional breakdown?

The product is rich in nutrients, protein, and fat, along with essential vitamins that support chicken health and development.

Does the packaging make it easy to use?

Yes, it comes in a sealed, clear tub that is designed to be easily carried and stored away, keeping the contents fresh.

Troubleshooting

Chickens seem uninterested in the feed.

Ensure the corn is fresh. Try scattering it in a different area or at a different time of day to re-engage their interest. Also, confirm it's being offered as a supplement and not replacing their primary feed.

Feed appears stale or moldy.

This may indicate improper storage. Discard any spoiled feed and ensure the tub is always sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dry location away from moisture.

Attracting unwanted pests (rodents, wild birds).

Only offer the amount of feed that your chickens can consume within a short period (e.g., 15-20 minutes). Clean up any uneaten feed promptly after feeding times. Store the main supply securely in the sealed tub.
