The beauty and joy of any poultry farmer is waking up every morning to look at your well feathered. And colorful active birds jumping around signaling your arrival and expressing their state of good health.



Nothing could be more devastating, frustrating than looking at your birds helplessly pecking and aggressively eating their feathers.



It is therefore imperative for you as a farmer. To make deliberate effort in preventing and eliminating this depressing behavior in your flock.



Importance of feather cover for your chickens.


Beauty to behold, well-feathered bird makes a good pet, very attractive especially for children and chicken pet lovers alike.


Temperature regulation Feathers are involved in thermoregulation and play an important role in protecting against outside weather, and physical injuries.


Protection from sunburn.


Dustbathing and preening.


Feathers are used for flight and buoyancy, as seen in waterfowl, turkey, guinea fowl, etc.


Good feather cover reduces the cost of feeding as less feed is required to keep the body worm.


Good feather cover is used for sexual display to attract the female species during mating in birds such as turkey and peacock.
