Vitamins and Minerals
Australian soils are naturally low in many essential minerals - and that deficiency flows through to the pasture, the feed, and ultimately your flock. Supplementing with the right vitamins and minerals helps keep your chickens healthy, productive, and laying strong-shelled eggs.
Our Supplements
Dine-A-Chook Mega Mineral - Our own blend of 13 essential minerals in a bioavailable liquid form that chickens actually absorb. Made from organic, sea-based minerals. Add it to drinking water as part of your regular care routine. Available in 25ml dropper, 250ml, and 1 litre bottles.
Avi-Calcium with Vitamin D3 - Liquid calcium supplement for laying hens. Vitamin D3 helps with calcium absorption, which is essential for strong eggshells. Useful during periods of high production or if you're seeing soft or thin-shelled eggs. Buy here.
Shell Grit - The simplest way to provide extra calcium. Offer it free-choice in a separate dish - your hens will take what they need. Also aids digestion by helping break down feed in the gizzard. Buy here.
Why Supplement?
A quality layer pellet provides a good baseline, but it can't account for everything. Mineral levels in feed ingredients vary depending on where they're grown, and Australian soils are notoriously mineral-deficient in many areas.
Supplementing helps fill the gaps - supporting immune function, feather condition, egg production, and general vitality. You'll often notice the difference in shell quality and overall flock health.
Which Supplement Do You Need?
For general flock health: Mega Mineral is the all-rounder. Use it regularly as part of your routine care.
For soft or thin eggshells: Start with shell grit offered free-choice. If shells don't improve, add Avi-Calcium with D3 to their water.
During moult, stress, or recovery: Mega Mineral helps support birds through demanding periods when their mineral needs are higher.
