Big Ole Bird is Biology Optimized for Birds. BoB takes probiotics to a new level with rich organic humic and fulvic acids!

What you want seems almost impossible to attain: A bigger, stronger, healthier bird. You want a bird less susceptible to disease, that puts on weight at a record pace. Sometimes you wish you had a magic potion you could just give to them that will make them the biggest, baddest birds you have ever grown. Now with Big Ole Bird poultry supplement you can achieve that goal.

BOB is Biology Optimized for Birds. There have been other poultry supplement products on the market before offering a witches brew of probiotic microorganisms aimed at improving gut microflora. BOB takes this technology to the next level by introducing beneficial levels of Humic and Fulvic acids to the formula.

Scientific Studies have shown that Humic acid, when added to the diet of poultry provide a number of beneficial effects:

• Improved weight gain
• Improved feed conversion
• Decreased mortality
• Improved resistance to pathogens and disease

For laying hens, scientific studies have shown additional benefits from Humic acid:

• Improved egg production
• Increased egg size
• Improved shell hardness

The 28 Duck eggs at the bottom of the picture I set the 11th, I set 20 different duck eggs for the NYDH. The duck eggs in this picture will not hatch until a week after NYD.

Is this contest for the highest hatch percentage or the highest total number of birds?
If it is for the number I doubt someone with 24 eggs would stand a chance against someone with 200 eggs.

Say's best hatch rate.

That would be percentage of eggs hatched.

Thanks, that makes sense. I didn't read closely enough the part about "
