Dietary requirements of healthy chooks

These are the 23 day old chicks.





The girls are having some watermelon to stay cool. It seems the boy is too cool for watermelon!

But he was up to his ankles in breakfast. This is boiled up veggie peelings with Swisse Wild Krill oil capsules, organic linseed (flax), egg, lavender leaves and spiralena powder (which explains the green tinge their food always has).
These chicks will grow up with glossy feathers, strong bones, good health and when the girls begin laying their eggs will be loaded with Omega 3.

These chooks will also know to seek out medicinal plants in their garden because they were introduced to them when they were only 4 days old and are used to eating them  even though they have strong scents and flavours. 
Key plants to make available to your chooks include tansy, lavender, wormwood and comfrey.
