Full details

This SQUAWK Mixed Poultry Corn is designed for owners of free-range poultry, including chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks, providing essential nutrients and minerals year-round.

FAQs

Is this a complete feed for chickens?

No, SQUAWK Mixed Poultry Corn is a *complementary feed*. It should be given in addition to a balanced commercial poultry feed or a diet that meets all their essential nutritional needs.

What types of poultry can eat this?

This mixed corn is suitable for a wide range of domestic poultry, including chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks.

How much of this should I feed my birds?

It is best offered as a treat or supplement. A small handful per bird per day is generally sufficient. Avoid overfeeding, as it can lead to nutritional imbalances or birds becoming too full to eat their main feed.

What are the main ingredients?

The primary ingredients are whole wheat and cut maize grits.

How should I store the feed?

Store in a cool, dry place. For best results and to protect against pests and moisture, transfer to an airtight container after opening.

What is the benefit of mixed corn?

Mixed corn provides an additional source of carbohydrates for energy, which can be particularly beneficial for birds in colder weather or those with higher energy needs.

Can I feed this to young chicks?

This mixed corn is generally not recommended for very young chicks, as they require a finely ground starter feed with specific nutrient levels. It is more suitable for adolescent and adult poultry.

Troubleshooting

Poultry not eating the corn

Ensure this is offered as a *complementary* feed and not the sole food source. Try scattering it in a new area or mixing a small amount with their regular feed to encourage acceptance.

Feed appears stale or moldy

This can happen if stored improperly. Check storage conditions; ensure it is cool, dry, and the container is airtight. Discard any moldy feed and replace with fresh stock.

Attracting unwanted pests (rodents, wild birds)

Only feed the amount your poultry will consume in one go. Store the feed in a secure, rodent-proof container. Clean up any spilled feed promptly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product requires no setup. It is ready to be fed to your poultry upon arrival. Simply open the bag and dispense as needed.

Compatibility: SQUAWK Mixed Poultry Corn is compatible with most common domestic poultry breeds, including chickens, bantams, turkeys, geese, and ducks. It is designed as a *complementary feed*, meaning it should be given in addition to a balanced commercial poultry feed or a diet that otherwise meets their full nutritional requirements.

Care & Storage: Store the feed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests. Although supplied in a polythene bag, for longer-term storage and to protect against moisture and rodents, it is recommended to transfer the corn into a sturdy, airtight container made of metal or heavy-duty plastic. Ensure feeding areas are kept clean to prevent spoilage and attract unwanted wildlife.
