All poultry owners know how important it is to keep their chickens in the best of health. It is therefore vital that a worm count test is carried out for the health and vitality of their girls. Test your chickens when they have not recently been wormed in case it gives a false reading. Test late in the year during or after the moult so that you know your birds are going into winter worm free. Test Jan-March ready for the breeding season. Test newly acquired stock. Test an individual that you are concerned about. A general check during the laying season. Worm problems in chickens can result in chickens being underweight, producing fewer eggs and generally looking under the weather. Doing a worm count will give you peace of mind. If they have worms, the problem can be treated. If they haven’t got any worms, you won’t have wormed them just for the sake of it. If you have just a few chickens, you might like to test each one individually, otherwise for a large flock you will need to send a composite sample. The Worm Count Kit is easy to use with fast results. To take a composite sample for testing: 1. Collect fresh droppings from several areas in the hen house using the large plastic bag. 2. Squeeze the bag to mix the droppings together. Fill the sample container using the mixed droppings. 3. Put your own name and sample name/number on the label. 4. Place the container and label inside the small plastic bag. 5. Place the small plastic bag with the completed voucher in the pre-paid padded bag. The test will show if the following are present in the sample: Coccidian Oocysts, Ascaridia eggs (roundworms), Capillaria eggs, any other eggs seen in the sample. Tapeworm eggs may not show up in a worm count because of the way that they are expelled. If you notice anything unusual that you are unsure of then please include it with the sample for checking. The service is quite speedy and is usually carried out on the day the test kit arrives. Results are available later by phone, fax, text or e.mail. Everything you need for the test is included in the package including a glove for collecting the sample. New compostable packaging with unique zero waste design. Contains a sample pot and full instructions on how to collect a sample from the field/stable. For worming advice, please feel free to contact our suitably qualified person (SQP).
Cut Maize is a real indulgence for your chickens, ducks, geese and game birds; usually found at different ratios within a bag of mixed corn. This bag is purely cut maize. A wonderful grain feed, best kept as a treat or alongside a compound such as layers pellets or mash. Cut maize is a great way of keeping them topped up with extra protein, energy, and fat over colder periods. Use sparingly at first and monitor your birds, as cut / split maize can increase their overall weight and hens may not lay if they gain too much. Ideally scattered on the ground in the evening as a treat, cut maize encourages your birds to forage naturally and is more easily digested in this (split) form. Size: 13kg

Grit is needed in a chicken's diet to ensure they get enough calcium. This part of the diet is important as it helps form a strong egg shell which is made up of largely of calcium. Chickens that lay a larger number of eggs, especially high production hybrid hens require a higher level of calcium than others. Most feeds will not supply enough, so it is always a good idea to add more. The grit can be scattered around so that the hens will scratch for it. Once the hens have eaten the grit, it will dissolve in the digestive system. You can also add the grit to the feed or use a grit hopper. We also chicken treat which contains grit and other tasty treats. You will be able to tell if your chickens require extra calcium in their diet as the eggs they lay will have poor quality shells. Even if the shells are healthy, extra grit in the diet will not harm the birds. These bags come 25kg. We also sell the oyster sell by the kilo. Contains 100% Oyster shells.
