NON-GMO products:
Yes! Pullet Together, Cluck Here
Also important to know: all certified organic products are considered Non-GMO.
Natural proteins/insects:
Yes! Chicken Crack, Cluck Yea, Pullet Together, + Molt Mender have mealworms
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.
Picky flock:
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:
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.
Serving size:
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.
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 other birds:
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!
Mealworms:
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.
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.
Live birds for sale?
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.

Nesting Box Blend®
Best blend
The Nesting Box Blend is my favorite. I use it in all the nesting boxes plus the coop floor in general. It is so clean and refreshing in the coop. The chickens seem to like it as much as I do.

Lifesaver
The Water Protector Enzymes have been a lifesaver in the summer. (I do use it year round) it makes my water stay fresh so much longer. Before I started using this, my water slimed up and turned colors in a couple of days in the heat. Now I am much more comfortable with the quality of the water. I dont ever want to run out and have it on automatic reorder!!

Cluck'n Sea Kelp is the Bomb!!
I have been using Cluck'n Sea Kelp for a couple years now and my girl love love love it!! The eggs they give back to me are so beautiful. I scatter it in their coop and also on the tray of greens that they get in the mornings. Dawn I certainly hope you continue to sell this product because I would be lost without it!!

Our hens 💖💖💖 it! 👏👏👏
Excellent quality, as with EVERYTHING from TREATS FOR CHICKENS!! Many of our neighbors have been complaining that their hens have stopped laying. We have been blessed to have an abundance of eggs virtually every day! Try the Healthy Hen Wellness Blend and see if it also makes a difference for you! 😉. Holly in Montana.
