Our Scratch + Corn is an indulgent treat for your flock – don’t let it spoil their dinner! Treats should make up 10% or less of each bird’s diet, no matter their age. The remaining 90% of their diet should come from an age-appropriate complete poultry feed. We recommend reserving Scratch + Corn for cold weather because corn generates heat within the bird’s body to help them stay warm. Suggested feeding age: 9+ months.

No, Scratch + Corn does not contain the nutrients and enzymes found in our nutritionally complete poultry feeds that are essential to muscle and bone growth, digestive health, egg production, and other vital health components.

Scatter Scratch + Corn around you to train your flock to come when you call and support natural scratching and pecking behavior, or toss inside the coop to encourage your birds to return to their roosts. Consider feeding Scratch + Corn to your flock at bedtime during cold weather to help them generate heat during the night. The added nutrients from Scratch + Corn also support molting recovery. Suggested feeding age: 9+ months.

Outside of their main daily feed, we suggest moderating all treats to 10% of your flock’s daily diet.

You sure can! For variety, you can moisten the barley or even sprout whole barley too!
