Get Shell Grit for Chickens in Andover

Healthy chickens lay tasty eggs, and you get healthy chickens from high quality chicken feed. Finding the ideal feed with the right nutritional balance is essential and the professionals at Canine Crossing in Andover are here to assist you.

Chickens will eat anything from grain to insects, and even animal products depending on how small the pieces are. Additionally, they require a varied variety of nutrients in order to not only lay eggs but lay eggs that are nutritionally dense. 

Chick starter and grower feeds are loaded with calories, particularly from protein - to help your chicks grow, strengthening their immune systems, and improving their total health and wellness. Grower feed is crucial for healthy chickens.

Layer feed has a different dietary structure that includes more calcium to encourage proper egg creation in newly laying chickens.

Flock raiser offers a balanced nutrition when you have a blended flock of chickens. It's much easier to use and still gives great nutrition.

Crumble and pellets are commonly the key presentation of flock raiser food, as it's simple for chicks and chickens alike to eat and absorb.

Shell grit has 2 objectives - one, it helps the gizzard break down food correctly, and two, it includes added calcium to your chicken's diet. Calcium is essential for proper nutrition regardless, but it's specifically vital for egg-laying hens.

Cracked corn isn't a great feed - it's calorie-dense but not big on nutrition. Regardless, it's a nice treat for your chickens, it's really affordable and in a pinch, it can be used to feed your chickens if you've got absolutely nothing else accessible.
