Tell Me About:
Chickens have no sweat glands and are highly sensitive to heat, which is why researchers have studied taurine as a nutritional strategy to help poultry cope with heat stress.
Published poultry science research has examined taurine's role in supporting antioxidant defenses and reducing the physiological strain of high temperatures on laying hens and broilers.
Source: Uyanga et al., "Functional roles of taurine, L-theanine, L-citrulline, and betaine during heat stress in poultry," Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022.
Taurine, a naturally occurring amino acid, acts as an osmoregulator and antioxidant in poultry - helping stabilize cell membranes and support the body during periods of heat stress.
Research on taurine in poultry has shown it can help repair intestinal lining, restore nutrient absorption, and support the immune system's natural ability to recover from the effects of parasites and heat-related stress.
Daily Maintenance: approx. 1.9-3.8 grams of taurine per US gallon of drinking water.
During a Heat Wave (Acute Stress): approx. 7.5-19 grams per US gallon. In extreme heat with severely reduced feed intake, up to 19-30 grams per gallon.

Last summer's heat really took a toll on my girls - lethargic, barely eating, and their shells were paper thin. A friend recommended MamaChick and within a couple weeks I noticed they were more active again and the eggs were back to being solid. It's now just part of our daily routine.

Tip: Add daily to your flock's drinking water to support resilience during hot weather and recovery from parasite stress.
MamaChick's Taurine Powder is formulated specifically to support backyard hens through heat stress and help their gut recover from the effects of internal parasites, using a single well-researched amino acid rather than a broad herb blend.
Taurine supplementation has been studied across multiple poultry species. Adjust the amount added to water based on your flock's size and species.
Yes. Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid with no egg withdrawal period required.
MamaChick Taurine Powder dissolves fully in water and is unflavored, so most flocks drink normally once it's mixed in.
MamaChick does not kill parasites and is not a substitute for a dewormer or coccidiostat. It's designed to support gut recovery and reduce heat-related stress alongside proper parasite treatment.

Why It Matters
Egg production can drop this much during severe heat stress, per published poultry research.
Feed intake also declines sharply in severe heat, leaving hens with fewer resources to cope.
What to Look Out For
Stronger, more consistent eggshells
Improved gut recovery and digestive resilience
Better resilience to hot weather and panting stress
Calmer, more active flock during summer heat
