We are all interested in keeping backyard chickens healthy and happy, and making small changes in various.  Below are ten tips to improve the well-being of any flock.

   1.  Provide proper nutrition

  Basically, chickens need to function properly and be healthy. The progress of science and the work of poultry nutritionists reveals that backyard chickens need more nutrients to live longer, chickens at different stages of development require different feed type. Generally, starter feed should be given to chicks from one day of age to eight weeks of age, although the feed, manufacturer.  Adult hens up to 18 weeks of age should be fed broiler or herd type feed, and laying hens should be given layered feed before 18 weeks of age or first egg emergence.  The calcium needed for egg production in laying hens is in the stratified feed. 

   Although calcium is added to the stack of nutrients, an additional source of calcium, such as oyster shells or crushed eggshells, should be made available in a separate diet, in addition to fodder  

 2 Limits of treats:

     The ingredients in commercially to prepared chicken food. Excessive treats, even healthy ones

   Regular laying of many yolk eggs, vent prolapse, protein deficiencies, feather removal,

    Fatty liver syndrome, increased egg attachment, reduced egg production, increased risk of heat stroke

  Must have general knowledge guide in treat exam.  Types of foods we need to consider when feeding our chickens to enhance our own health: High protein, whole grains, low salt, low sugar, fruits and vegetables.  Dairy products are an exception to this general rule because birds are not fitted with the enzymes needed to properly digest milk sugar.  Some yogurt sometimes contains good and beneficial bacterial cultures, but too much milk can cause digestive disorders and diarrhea.  Choose probiotics specifically designed for chicken instead of yogurt for better intestinal health.

 3. Healthy treats for chickens:

  Scrambled Eggs-Eating eggs for chickens may seem paradoxical, but eggs are an excellent source of protein, vitamin A, vitamin E and.  2 chickens are green and do not develop the habit of eating eggs

   As a result of eating scrambled eggs.  When thawed, eggs are one of the best sources of protein for chickens.

     Pumpkin is packed with antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E, minerals including copper, calcium, potassium and phosphorus, dietary fiber and protein in seeds.  100 g of pumpkin seeds contain 30 g of protein.  When 1 pumpkin is in season, I make my flock beep pumpkin, a nutritious treat rich in vitamins.  Unsupported claims put forward that pumpkin seeds are fed to chickens as a natural defoamer, however, there is no scientific evidence to support the theory that pumpkin seeds are capable of removing or reducing worms in chickens.  Therefore, I do not believe in pumpkin seeds as a preventive measure or as a treatment option for my flock.  I give my chickens pumpkin and pumpkin seeds because they are nutritious, and they enjoy them.

    Dietary worms are a good source of protein, which is said to make up 49% to 51%.  They can be purchased directly or dried and easily grown at home.  During a mold, food worms choose a particularly smart snack.

    Flock Black is a commercially available treat for chickens that is designed to entertain them and fulfill their natural instincts.  You can buy them at feed stores for about $13.  I bought the product once or twice, but always thought I could make a similar treat myself.  I recently created my own treat set and am thrilled to learn that my homemade Flax Black alternative is a healthy, fresh, nutritious treat for my flock.  This recipe contains Omega Ultra Egg, which boosts omega-3 levels in eggs, improves egg laying rates and the health of chickens, and provides naturally occurring amino acids that act as key building blocks of protein in feathers and eggs.

   Chickens like it, can not get enough, it is not the best choice for them.  Scratch usually consists of a mixture of boiled corn and grains, which lack significant amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals.  Think of scratch chicken candy and give only occasionally in small quantities.  

  4. Provide clean water:

  Always provide clean, hygienic water to the chickens.  Again, this seems like common sense, but most backyard chickens drink from feces, bacteria and other organisms that can make them sick.  The solution to contaminated water is to use chicken nipple water. No one who raises chickens professionally has used cups, bell drinkers or tanks in the last 25 years. Nipples have been used successfully in billions of chickens. No doubt that any [system] is better. 

   5.  Apple cider vinegar in drinking water:

  Adding apple cider vinegar to the water that chickens drink with their mother can change the pH of the water and improve intestinal health, Acidification of water changes the bacteria in the gut, reduces the growth of bad bacteria. 

   6 Clean apartment:

  A clean nest is a healthy nest.  Chickens have sensitive respiratory systems that are easily irritated by mold and ammonia from accumulated waste.  Clean nests are less prone to the presence of external parasites such as insects and chicken lice.  For five ways to have a cleaning tent with minimal effort,

  7. Dry bed:

  The humid environment created by stagnant water droplets or spilled water makes a breeding ground for other harmful organisms to thrive.  Coccidiosis is an intestinal disease that can kill chickens quickly if left undiagnosed or untreated.

    8. Notice the drops:

  The first sign of a potential health problem is often found in chicken droppings.  Knowing which residue is normal and abnormal is a very useful tool in assessing the health of chickens.  Installing a waste board under the rooster provides a routine opportunity to monitor abnormalities not covered by shaving or other bedding.

     9. Break the broody chickens:

  A brooding hen is one that is induced to sit on a set of eggs until the chicks hatch.  Whether she sits in the nest of fertilized eggs or in an empty nest, she waits indefinitely until the chicks hatch.  At 21 days, which is usually required for spawning, a brooding chick leaves her nest briefly once or twice a day, ignoring her own health.  Her comb loses color, the feathers lose their shine, and she loses a significant amount of weight.  She can tolerate this drastic change in 21 days, but long-term incubation is unhealthy for her.  She suffers from external parasites, is malnourished and is thin.

   10. Provide dust bath areas:

  A dust bath is the equivalent of a daily bath of chicken.  Chickens dig into shallow spots in dirt, sand or even flower pots to work on the skin and feathers to help maintain skin and feather care and control parasites.  A dust bath can be as simple as a shallow bucket filled with dry dirt or sand in the backyard.  No additives or supplements are required to accomplish the goal.  According to Gail Tamera in The Chicken Encyclopedia, the addition of (DE) wood ash or lime and sulfur garden powder to their dust baths is dangerous to their respiratory health and should be avoided if they are seriously affected by parasites.
