i cant answer all your questions, maybe some others can help but you can give your chickens plain yogurt to help their guts, they love it.

You can give apple cider vinegar with mother to the chicks for probiotic. I read on here about 1 teaspoon for one quarts of water.

DE won't hurt them.


There is a lot of variation in normal poo. Here is a good site:

I looked at that sight I think and I have looked at countless poo pic's. I just started the ACV and I can use the DE first before I start the whole Yougurt thing? Do you know what exact ingredients are in the OK food version of DE,I found some called Bug check for horese.and blu kote says for horese and dogs,but I can use it right? Thanks
