in what way does it help the chickens
Answer by • Jan 12, 2021
This treat is made of nutritious ingredients carefully selected to support good avian health, promote active foraging, and is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals and probiotics. ForageCakes are intended for intermittent feeding only, not a complete feed. Use in conjunction with your favorite maintenance feed.
how old should chickens be before they get this?
Answer by • Apr 01, 2022
Start chicks on BabyCake or HotCake from day 3 until about 4 weeks. Cut ForageCakes into pieces and place them on water-filled (half-inch) dinner plates or saucers. This soaks into the ForageCake, dissolving its binding ingredients. Chicks will peck at the moist crumbles, learning how to forage on the material. By week 6, they won’t need the ForageCake to be moistened but it’s a good idea to rinse them off every few days. It’s important to keep in mind that as the birds peck on their ForageCake they are hardening it. Rinsing it periodically ensures that your birds will continue foraging on it even once it’s become pounded into hard pieces. When chicks have grown in their entire first plumage (around 6 weeks), and they’re being weaned into outdoor life, Farmers' Helper recommends placing out a HotCake as well as the ForageCake and cutting back on their daily maintenance ration. This is accomplished by only placing enough daily food out for your young birds that they can eat in a few hours, rather than at free access. They will have ForageCake & HotCake in front of them all day. We recommend providing whole-cooked sweet potatoes and whole raw squash for your birds to forage on as well.
