Earlier this spring, our team partnered with the Sussex County NJ 4H club to provide products for poultry kits being assembled by members of the 4H Chicken Club. Local leaders recently discovered something that we know all too well (and that was part of the reason we created our line of water supplements for backyard poultry): most backyard chicken owners and their families don’t know what to do if their birds get sick! Since finding a poultry veterinarian can be difficult, the 4H club wanted to offer another way to support those families when that happens.

Their solution? Poultry “Vet Kits!” Our team supplied Recover 911 (a water supplement for severe stress in chickens) for the kits and also shared educational video resources and materials to help further educate the Club on chicken health.

In this photo, proud members of the 4H Chicken Club display their assembled kits.
