The 30-Second Check

Look at her, not just the nest box. The first three are the season. The last three are worth a closer look.

A boy carrying an egg basket past the coop in low evening light, hens in the run

1. Shorter days

Normal. She lays by daylight.

Fewer hours of light means fewer eggs, every fall. If she's bright, eating well and her eggs look normal, it's the calendar.

Molted feathers scattered across the run floor

2. Molt

Normal. Feathers come first.

Growing a whole new coat takes the protein that usually goes into eggs. Many hens stop laying until it's done.

“My laying hens LOVE their feed with Roostys in it !!! Their feathers have come in nicely after their molt .”

Lorijean W., verified buyer

3. Her age

Normal. Older girls slow down.

Most hens lay a little less each year after their second. A slower winter is part of that.

When It's More Than the Season

4. Thin, rough or odd shells

Worth a closer look.

Shorter days mean fewer eggs, not worse ones. If the shells change too, she may not be getting enough out of her feed.

“The eggs shells have become nice and firm...no more broken eggs!”

Marsha W., verified buyer

5. Pale comb after the molt

Worth a closer look.

A comb that stays pale once her new feathers are in is a sign to look at how she's using her feed.

“Seems to be okay the ones eating food best have red combs but we just are coming out of the molting season and it’s a little soon to tell, but I will keep using it.”

Sandra A., verified buyer

6. Poopy eggs or a dirty vent

Worth a closer look.

Loose droppings and messy eggs usually point to her gut, not the coop. If she's hunched up, losing weight or not eating, that's a vet call, not a feed change.

“It works great. Chickens are very happy and laying clean eggs”

Clayton C., verified buyer

Six Ingredients. Nothing Else.

Measured and Vet-Reviewed,

in One Scoop

Chili flakes, capsicum, garlic, oregano, black pepper and flaxseed, measured and vet-reviewed, sprinkled on the feed she already eats.

Chili + Capsicum

Support the gut and help make it a place parasites don't want to settle. Hens can't taste the heat.

Garlic + Oregano

Garlic for immune support. Oregano keeps good gut bacteria balanced.

Black Pepper + Flaxseed

Black pepper helps her absorb the rest. Flaxseed adds omega-3 for feathers and egg quality.

On the Feed

She Already Eats

2 tablespoons per 3 to 7 hens, every day, or 1 pouch in a 50 lb bag. For hens 10 weeks and older.

It's Not About Forcing Eggs

Every egg and every new feather comes out of what she eats. Molt and cold ask a lot of that feed. And worms picked up from the ground can take a share before her body gets to use it.


Flock Armor won't make her lay through the molt or the short days. That's not the point. It supports her gut every day, so more of her feed goes where she needs it, and she comes through winter in good shape.


How to use: 2 tablespoons per 3 to 7 hens, sprinkled on the feed she already eats, once a day. Or mix 1 pouch into a 50 lb bag. For hens 10 weeks and older.
