Benefits of chicken supplements for free-range chickens

Raising chickens is a tough but rewarding practice. To have the healthiest, happiest chickens possible, it's necessary to add supplements to your chickens' diet. Even if you make your own feed, provide free choice grit and have free-range chickens, it's easiest to add supplements for a nutritionally complete diet.

Free choice chickens benefit from Mother Load because they like the taste. They will love to visit the coop waterer when Mother Load is in it! A chicken's diet alone usually can't supply all it needs in terms of essential nutrients health benefits. Free-range chickens can meet a lot of their nutritional needs from their daily habits, but free choice supplements can provide micro nutrients to fill in the gaps.

Think of it this way: You can get all the vitamins you need from your diet, but you have to be really intentional about eating a wide variety of food to do so. But if you take a multivitamin, you can be sure you get any other minerals or vitamins that you didn't happen to eat that day. Giving your chickens supplements works the same way!
