Omega

Omega supplements add healthy fats—mainly omega-3 and omega-6—from flax, fish, or algae for chickens, ducks, and geese.

They help make shiny feathers, support heart and joints, and can boost omega-3s in eggs. Use them during molt, in winter, after stress or transport, or when birds don’t get much green pasture. Mix a small amount into feed as the label says (start a few days a week). Don’t overdo oils—too much can loosen droppings or turn rancid—so keep feed fresh and always offer a complete ration and clean water.
