In terms of your pet chicken’s diet, allow it to forage extensively. Mash its feed and scatter its pellets, grit, or whole grain across its litter. Consider consulting with a feed representative or nutritionist about supplying your pet chickens with extra fibre.

Assess the nutritional content of your chicken’s food closely. Sodium levels shouldn’t be too high and essential amino acids should be present. If you are going to be making any changes to its diet in any way (e.g. taste, energy level, content, texture, etc.), do so gradually.

Inspect the quality of your air in your chickens’ home periodically. Dust and humidity levels should be low. When inspecting their surroundings or shelter, do so regularly and routinely so that your chickens do not become stressed or fearful. Do this in a calm fashion.

Keep in mind: the number one reason for injurious pecking among chickens is change. That said, never change anything in their environment abruptly.
