NATIONAL CHOOK
HEALTH MONTH

This year’s all about understanding your chooks’ needs as they grow from hatchlings to adult hens. By adopting diet to each key life stage, you support their development and help ensure they have happy, healthy and productive lives.

Find feed specifically developed for your hens’ life stages in the Barastoc range.

KEEP YOUR HENGINES

Take your eggspertise to the next level this National Chook Health Month. Get the latest advice on hen life stages – and see if you have what it takes to become a master hengineer.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO

Anyone can own chooks, but it takes a qualified hengineer to truly understand these clever creatures.

The hengineering course is made up of four modules, each of which contain five multiple-choice questions. Pass all four modules and you’ll receive your offical hengineering degree. Don’t worry if you fall short – you can take the test as many times as you want.

You can also study up by checking out the resource section below.
