Forage Cakes - F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions about...

Chickens

Q: Why is it important to keep my chicken's feed off the ground?

A: Chickens are fairly indiscriminate as to where they eat and poop. To help prevent disease from spreading throughout ones flock and to prevent contaminated feed, we recommend positioning feedstuffs away from poop and other foreign material; simply elevate feed over a grated floor.

Q: Why do chickens need to eat animal protein? Why is the vegetarian diet not the best for them?

A: Chickens are by nature omnivores (they will eat whatever is available), whether it be seeds, grains, weeds, insects or worms. Given that chickens are not naturally vegetarian, feeding only a vegetarian diet can deprive them of a much needed protein source.

Q: Is it safe to offer my flock only Forage Cakes?

Resolution Kibble

Q: How much Kibble do I feed at a time?

A: Resolution Kibble is designed to be fed in place of typical pellets or crumbles. Resolution Kibble and other extruded feeds contain a higher nutritional content when compared with pelleted feedstuffs, crumbles and/or mashes. Consequently, animals tend to consume less food when eating extruded kibble, in comparison to non-extruded pellets, crumbles, and mashes.

In short, when using Resolution Kibble, experiment with dispensing a little less food than you do when using traditional pelleted fare.

For self-feeding, pour Kibble directly into a freshly sanitized hopper feeder as needed.

For waterfowl, scatter Kibble directly onto the water, Kibble will float and remain intact until eaten.

A: Baby Cake are a supplement and include an assortment of beneficial ingredients (such as Hunter Kibble, dried cranberries, zeolite, and nut pieces).
