List of Non-GMO products at Treats for Chickens
Yes! Pullet Together, Cluck Here
Also important to know: all certified organic products are considered Non-GMO.
What Treats for Chickens treats include natural proteins/insects:
Yes! Chicken Crack, Cluck Yea, Pullet Together, + Molt Mender have mealworms
Does Treats for Chickens sell Vegan products?
Chickens are naturally omnivores. But we do have non-mealworm treats such as Gourd I Love You and Chick Chick.
Our vitamin mineral supplement, Cluck’n Sea Kelp, is from Canada’s cool, crisp waters.
Both our New Chicks in Town and Healthy Hen Wellness are naural herbal blends.
Our recommendations for your picky flock members:
Sometimes if chickens aren't familiar with something, they do not eat it. Chicken parents have had success mixing our herbal blends with their flock's favorite treat, feed, or food. For instance: sprinkling Cluck’n Sea Kelp on kitchen scraps, watermelon or scattering it on the ground for future scratching and pecking.
Shelf life of Treats for Chickens products + treats:
Typically, there is a two-year shelf life on our products and products are best when used within 90 days of opening the package.
It is recommended that all products are stored in a cool, dry location and away from extreme heat and direct sunlight. Keep grains, seeds, herbs and powders away from moisture to reduce spoilage.
Recommended serving sizes for Treats for Chickens products + treats:
Introduce new treats and feeds gradually and give your flock access to grit to aid digestion. As for our treats, serve up a palm full (about to ¼ cup) per adult bird as a daily treat. When molting, add supplements to your feed. For chicks, give 1-2 pinches daily. Serve with chick grit and access to fresh water.
Treats for Chickens product usage tips:
You can hand feed treats, scatter them on the ground or incorporate them into a high quality layer feed. Herbs, supplements and blends can be added to feed as well.
Please note that our treats aren't meant to replace your flock's layer feed - they're a healthy snack for your flock.
Treats for Chickens for other birds too?
The question should be: what birds should you NOT feed these to?
Treats for Chickens’ treats and supplements are natural products that are safe for all domestic fowl. All our products contain a variety of sized ingredients for any sized beak or bill. So have at it and share!
Where do mealworms REALLY come from?
Glad you asked!! We are making efforts to connect with a USA based grower of Certified Organic dried mealworms.
Currently, mealworms are from China. The USDA and CCOF inspect our products to assure their quality and safety.
You might also notice that mealworms vary in color and size. The way they are raised and dried depends on their size and color.
What's the difference between Mealworms v BSF:
Mealworms have been the go-to protein treat for chickens, but the black soldier fly larvae is a growing interest ingredient. Both should be fed in moderation as too much calcium and protein can lead to decreased egg laying and health problems.
Does Treats for Chickens sell live birds too?
That would be fun, but no, we do not sell any live chickens.
But, when you get them we know just the place for all their health and happiness needs/wants (hint hint).
To add to your flock or start new, check with your local farm and feed store, the Craigslist.org farm and garden section, look up for your local 4H groups and/or google hatcheries for the closest location as many ship right to your door.

It was interactive, informative & supportive. I learned about pest control, Food Do’s& don’t s and about too much calcium info. Vicki F.

Excellent
Dawn is very relatable. Down to earth. That’s truly what attracted me to the company to begin with. I feel like we could just go grab a drink by the coop and talk poop all day long 🤗 I did get two pages of information out of it. I love talking chickens and love to learn from other people. I liked the round table discussion. You can’t get that with Facebook groups. Thanks, Pam

Amazing.
I learned so much and things we already knew just confirmed we were on the right path. She made us feel very comfortable about our questions and concerns. The fact that she was available afterward for follow up questions was great. Thanks Kristin.

I liked all of it....
First Aid Kit info was super helpful and the pest information was helpful too.
Great info on what kinds of fresh foods they can and should not eat.
Body temperature information and temperature tolerances was very helpful. Thank you, Cindy C.

I absolutely loved Chicken School.
I absolutely loved Chicken School. This is my first time with chickens. I learned a lot and took lots of notes. I had not thought about a first aid kit. I will be blocking their nesting boxes beginning tonight.
The references you gave us are really helpful, especially the food ones. I already have the best pet sitter in the world who takes care of my chickens, dogs, cats, and even the feral cats I feed, but I will be revising my checklist.
I would attend Chicken School again. I am sure there are things I need to hear again and questions I will have in the future. Thank you for the class.
Thanks so much, Lee

A great time!
That was a great time and 2 hours flew by with ease. I could have kept talking but felt bad for the east coasters.
Thanks again for doing this, I would happily sign up for another. Thanks Kristin D.

Special Surprise
My chickens are four years old and picky eaters unless it’s earth worms. They were incredibly interested in Molt Mender and ate it.

The girls love it!
The chicks get excited when I sprinkle “New Chicks In Town” in and around their food. Their foraging and scratching kicks in! I also feel good knowing they’re getting herbs and flowers in their diet and the brooder is getting a smell refresh. Great product!

New Chicks in Town
Our chicks love these treats!
“Chick! Chick!” has been a really fun way to bond with my chicks. I say “chick chick chick” when I lay the treats and they come running! They have a great time scratching in it and eating it. All of my breeds enjoy!
