By Around 6 weeks the immature female chick is classed as pullets and the male counterpart a cockerel. At this stage their nutritional needs are similar and both would be fed Pullet Grower. The pullet phase is where the foundations are laid during the next 10-12 weeks of life, before the body reaches maturity. Skeletal framework and structural muscle are being formed and peak between 6-10 weeks of age and as shown organs are already developed. During this short window it's important to get their nutrition right and set them up for the rest of their lives.

A good diet is super important to keep those hengines powered up! Just like humans, your hens need calcium not only for skeletal development but also for egg formation. Chooks need around 4g of calcium per day to help make strong egg shells. #BarastocPoultry #WePutTheChickenBeforeTheEgg #NationalChookHealthMonth #Hentalks #Chookfeed

When it comes to the health of your chooks, you better bet your beak; we've got the best. The best range of feeds, that is; for every life stage, to keep your chooks powered up and in peak peaking condition! Maintaining top notch hengines is no yolk - so keep an eye out for any common illnesses in your fine-feathered girls. Always remember what Hen Rietta says - if we don't look well, take us to the vet! #BarastocPoultry #WePutTheChickenBeforeTheEgg #NationalChookHealthMonth #Hentalks
