Does anyone know if this is ok to put in chickens waters.


The guy at the feed store told me this is good stuff but I doubted myself after buying it. Any info would help. THANKS!!!

This is a protein supplement. If your chickens have free access to an age-appropriate commercial feed they shouldn't need this because the feed will provide the necessary protein and essential amino acids. Unless you're trying to bulk them up quickly for the freezer or feeding only scratch and veggies from the garden, I guess.

Ok thanks I am going to tell the guy at the feed store he is WRONG and doesn't know anything about chickens.



It's supposed to be electrolyte according to him!

Yeah, for electrolytes you want to look for a bunch of salts like sodium, potassium, phosphate in the ingredients list. I think there's a whole thread about electrolytes, dosage and stuff somewhere on here, I think I found it once just by searching 'electrolytes'.
Cheers.
