Adding heat lamps is up to you.

Chickens, especially cold-tolerant breeds, can withstand fall and winter temperatures without supplemental heat. Their body temp is already close to 106°F and they have plenty of feathers to keep them nice and toasty. However, in extreme cold, using a heat lamp can be an option.

Here's to those who mark the seasons with falling feathers instead of leaves.

As molting begins, you'll notice feathers falling more and more. This is a natural process that can last up to 12 weeks. To support your feather-regrowing friends during this transitional time:

💪 Pack protein into their diet.
😌 Keep stress levels low.
🏡 Give them space to relax.

Pro tip: Choosing a high-protein layer feed like Layena® + High Protein 19% Layer Hen Feed will help aid in the feather regrowing process.

Flocktober picture day is here, and every hen in the coop made the yearbook. 🍂🐓

The limited edition Purina® Farm to Flock® Harvest Festival™ Block got them all lined up for their close-ups. It's a treat, so it goes right alongside their complete Farm to Flock® feed.

What would your hen be voted most likely to do? Tell me in the comments.

Reyne Georgetti, Purina ambassador and owner of Happy Girl Eggs, knows the importance of feeding her hens a healthy diet.

“I think that people don't understand that if you're not feeding your chickens a healthy diet, your eggs are also not going to be as healthy. So, from the beginning, I made sure to feed them high protein,” she says. With 200 chickens and a customer roster for eggs to fulfill, Reyne definitely has her hands full — but knowing her hens have the proper nutrition helps make her job easier. Her customer base even includes a local restaurant that requested to serve her eggs.

“In our town, there are a lot of people that have eggs. So, when she picked me over any other farmer out there, I was like, ‘Holy crap, my eggs must be special.’ And that was definitely a moment that I felt very proud of my flock.”
