Best Biotin (Vitamin B7)-Rich Foods for Chickens

Ranked by biotin (vitamin b7) content among foods safe for chickens in the Creature Feast catalog.

Sunflower Seeds per 100g: ~66mcg biotin (Vitamin B7) Sunflower seeds are a strong biotin source for chickens. Biotin supports fatty acid synthesis, feather keratin production, and the carboxylase enzymes involved in energy metabolism. Deficiency causes dermatitis on the feet and around the beak in poultry.

Oats per 100g dry: ~20mcg biotin Oats provide moderate biotin that supports the skin and feather health of backyard chickens. The biotin in oats is generally well absorbed, unlike some grain sources where biotin is tightly bound and less bioavailable.

Banana per 100g: ~3mcg biotin Bananas provide a small but bioavailable biotin contribution. As a treat that chickens consume eagerly, bananas contribute to the cumulative biotin intake that supports healthy foot pad skin, beak condition, and feather growth.
