As heat stress progresses, you see more symptoms like diarrhea, poor eggshell quality, and less active birds. When you first notice the signs of heat stress, we recommend giving birds Recover 911 for at least 7 consecutive days to help rehydrate and support them during the hot weather.

Drop a ❤️ if you're stocked up on Recover 911 this season!

Summer is LOUD, and this can actually cause a great deal of stress in birds. Whether you're cranking up the lawn mower or your flock will be able to watch your town's fireworks on July 4th, adding Recover 911 to your flock's water is a great way to help keep your birds' stress levels at bay as they adjust to these environments.

It's easy to use - just add 1 teaspoon per gallon of water!

Summer means LOTS OF EGGS, and supporting hens during prime egg laying season is key! Enhance is a great way to treat your birds AND give their egg production organs a boost at the same time!

We also recommend a daily probiotic like Thrive to help maintain the right environment for nutrient utilization in our birds.
