Best price I can find

[Timothy Menezes]

So I recently started adding supplements to the chickens waterer. And prices locally are high, just found this source online which is a very good price. It's a complete vitamin/mineral concentrate. Also for you duck lovers, there is plenty of Niacin for your fast growing ducklings.

Only bummer is shipping, but if you can find a few friends to split an order then that should be no issue.

This makes 110 gallons. Assuming you have Amazon Prime, no shipping cost.

I like the free shipping, but dam, it's 32 to 37 percent salt! Well now you have me looking over Amazon. This looks promising, have you tried this Rooster Booster?

Still about 50% "salt" if you add the NACL and the KCL from the label.

Anything that is labeled as electrolytes is basically just going to be salt.

The original product you posted is 4 ounces and makes over 100 gallons. The one I posted is 8 ounces, and is half salt, and makes about the same gallons. So it would make sense that they are both probably about the same, just one has a bunch of salt along with the vitamins.

I don't know the dosing amount for the Rooster Booster, but I bet it would be about the same since it is 8 ounces.

In the poultry section (at least in my store, is one section back from the halter section for the horses) they have TONS of variety’s of electrodes.

Yeah after checking out the rooster booster it's just way to much salt.

The first on I linked is just vitamins/minerals which is all I want. Not interested in loading up my birds on salt. Would also like whatever vitamin pack I settle on to have enough Niacin for ducklings.

Has anyone ever tried making their own blend i wonder?

I like the concept, and I am sure their are people on the forum that could probably do that, but I am not yet one of them.

I am thinking you would probably be spending dollars to save dimes if your doing it for a small flock. To save money making it yourself, you would probably need to be running a very large flock.

If you want the Rooster Booster for vitamins and minerals and not electrolytes, this is what you want:
