Healthy chickens are happy chickens—and if you’re looking to boost egg production, support molting, and promote long-term flock health, high protein chicken treats are a smart choice. At Rangers Farm & Ranch Supply, we carry a variety of protein-packed options like grubs, mealworms, and specialty grains to help your flock thrive.
Protein is essential for chickens, especially during times of high stress, molting, or consistent egg laying. While a balanced layer feed forms the base of their diet, high protein snacks provide that extra boost of nutrition that keeps birds active, alert, and productive.
What We Carry
We stock a range of high protein chicken treats selected to meet the needs of both backyard hobbyists and seasoned poultry keepers:
- Dried Mealworms
A favorite for chickens! Mealworms are high in protein and fat, making them ideal for boosting energy and supporting egg production. - Black Soldier Fly Grubs
Grubs are nutrient-dense and highly digestible, containing essential amino acids and calcium that support strong shells and healthy feathers. - Specialty Grains
Blends of oats, barley, and other nutrient-rich grains provide slow-release energy and additional protein for daily supplementation.
These treats are also a great way to build trust with your flock, reward good behavior, or distract during coop cleaning and health checks.
When and How to Feed
Treats should always be fed in moderation—aim for no more than 10% of your chickens’ daily diet. The best times to offer high protein chicken treats include:
- During molting seasons
- After cold spells or weather stress
- To support hens during peak laying
- As enrichment during long days in the run
Always provide fresh water and a quality base feed alongside any treats.
Better Treats = Better Chickens
Feeding high protein chicken treats isn’t just about spoiling your flock—it’s about supporting long-term health, stronger eggs, and a more active, resilient flock. Whether you’re raising layers or just love your backyard birds, these natural, protein-rich snacks make a noticeable difference.
