This is the feedback we love to hear! Thank you Coils&Critters.

A shout out from Kruse's Perfection Brand that's awesome! And they used my photo! 🐀❤️ Honestly if you have access to this brand you won't regret using it. It was through trial and error and brand comparison that I found it to be the best. And if you don't have access to it do what I did and petition your local feed store to carry it .

Did you know that chickens’ prefer weather in the 70s, but they are also capable of handling sub 32 degree temperatures? Amazingly, chickens can even lay eggs below freezing!

We go way back. Our founder, Otto Kruse bought F.F. Booker Wholesale Hay and Grain in 1935. He renamed it OH Kruse Grain and Milling. The rest, as we say, is history.

Curious how to keep your chickens warm through the first cold snap of the year? We have some advice:

Invest in a heat source for the coop such as heat lamp or ceramic heater- but be very caution to secure it firmly to avoid fire.
Ensure the coop is well insulated.
Keep extra food available — more feed allows chickens to maintain their body heat more easily.
Check the coop for drafts and seal leaks.
Install water heaters to protect water sources from freezing.

Looking for cheap yet nutritious snacks for your chickens? Shops selling bruised or damaged fruit often do so at a steep discount — or even toss it away for free! Your chickens will benefit from healthy produce as a supplement to their feeds, regardless if the fruit is pretty or not.

Preparing for the cold also means preparing (and cleaning) the chicken coop. We have some tips for keeping your girls’ home in the best possible shape:

It’s time to buy new bedding. Clear out all old bedding and completely replace it with a fresh set.
If your coop has a stone or cement floor, use a disinfectant wash to clean the surface. Roosting bars and nesting boxes should also get a deep scrub.
Double check the coop for drafts — this is critical for both cold prevention and curbing illnesses.
Check if your coop is watertight. Moisture combined with cold air can lead to frostbite and respiratory problems for your chickens.

Harvest season is always an exciting time! For your chickens, this means more variety for treats. With apples, pears, and berries all in season, your birds can benefit from the windfall of low fat, vitamin C and K, and antioxidants goodies — all of which can boost your ladies’ immune systems!

Our founder and namesake, Otto Kruse, got his start working as a laborer of dairy and poultry feeds at the El Monte Grain Company in 1925 at the age of 17.

Kruse’s Perfection carries this legacy, knowing each workers’ role on the production line makes a difference — and represents the future of the business.

Fall brings colorful leaves, colder weather, and pumpkin carving. But it can also bring rats into your chicken coop. We have some tips on how to thwart unwelcome critters from getting into your coops:

Grain attracts rats like nothing else. Rats can also chew through plastic barriers around the coop and plastic containers for grain, so always default to metal over plastic options.

Keep spillage and wasted grain to a minimum by investing in a feeder that prevents your birds from dropping food.

Did you know that as the weather gets colder, the ground your chickens peck is more likely to freeze, causing your birds to lose critical sources of protein? We recommend supplementing your girls’ protein intake with a high protein layer feed to keep the protein in their diet high! Especially during molt.

Autumn tends to bring a lot of leaves into the yard. Luckily, we have some tips on how your chickens can benefit from the extra fallen foliage.

We recommend gathering your fallen leaves and scattering them in your chickens’ run. Packed with insects and worms, your chickens gain a fun protein layer to peck through and a potential bedding source. Be sure to remove the leaves once mold forms — otherwise your ladies could get sick from the dampness.

Wondering how to prepare your chicken coop for fall? We have some tips:

Check your fencing for gaps, holes, or weak connections. Predators, like raccoons and foxes, can slip into small gaps and harm your chickens.

If you have overhead coverings, also check if it’s structural sound and intact. Birds of prey could also come through roofing otherwise.

Monitor your ventilation. There should be enough airspace for easy breathing for your chickens, but not enough to cause a draft: air should only circulate above your chickens’ heads, but not below.

Clean out the coop. Throw out old bedding and scrub down surfaces with apple cider vinegar for a natural cleaning agent.
