You know it's hot when the chickens stop acting like chickens.
Instead of scratching, foraging, and chasing bugs, they're standing around with their wings held away from their bodies, looking for the smallest patch of shade they can find. It's hard to watch, and when the heat sticks around for days, keeping your flock comfortable starts feeling like a full-time job.
That's why we created the Chicken Chill-Out Heat Relief CluckKit™. Instead of piecing together herbs, hydration support, treats, and enrichment one product at a time, we've bundled the things we actually reach for during hot weather. It's a simple way to help your flock stay hydrated, beat boredom, and keep acting like chickens, even when the temperatures are working against them.
