FAQs
Can SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra be given to chicks?
While suitable for all free-range chickens, it's best used as a supplement for adult birds. Ensure chicks have access to a balanced chick starter feed.
How much SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra should I give my chickens?
Offer a small handful per chicken daily or a few times a week as a treat and supplement. It should not replace their main balanced feed.
What is the main benefit of this product?
It provides supplemental nutrients, protein, and energy to support feather development, beak health, and egg quality, while also encouraging natural foraging behaviors.
Is this a complete feed for chickens?
No, SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra is a supplement designed to be given in addition to a balanced commercial poultry feed.
How should I store the corn?
Store in the original sealed tub in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Can I use this feed in wet weather?
It's best to avoid scattering feed in wet conditions as it can become clumpy and moldy. If it does get wet, remove it promptly.
What sizes are available?
SQUAWK Chicken Corn Extra is available in 1L, 2.5L, and 5L sizes.
Troubleshooting
Chickens are not interested in the corn
Ensure this is offered as a supplement and not their primary food source. Try scattering it in a new area of their run or offering it at a different time of day.
Feed appears stale or moldy
Check storage conditions; ensure it's stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. Discard any moldy or suspect feed and rinse the tub before refilling.
Attracting unwanted pests (rodents, wild birds)
Only offer an amount that can be consumed within a few hours. Remove any uneaten feed before dusk and ensure the storage tub is completely sealed.
