Feed supplement

[junkman56]

I was wondering how many of you add supplements to their chicken feed? Such as kelp, probios, garlic/yeast.
I been adding it for a few years now. But recently I have not added any,
Does the pros out weigh the cons?
The biggest con is cost.

Thank you in advance

I add a lot of herbs, rooster booster, nutritional yeast, and a few other things to my feed. My chickens love it so that's a pro for me. I don't see the cost as a con because we have an egg layer flock that lays fertile eggs that our family eats and I incubate to make meat chickens. So the little amount I spend on supplements saves me money on grocery shopping.

We accidentally got Cockerels from our hatchery order instead of pullets. Instead of using them for meat, I'm using them for breeding. I did want all pullets because some roosters can be quite the handful.

I don't add anything to chicken feed except water when I make a wet mash for an early afternoon treat. . The feeds I buy have most of the things you've added to your feed. I purchase these 3 feeds for my chickens after 10 weeks of age, whichever is fresher or available when I'm at TSC. I offer Oyster Shells in a separate container. They have dry feed available 24/7. GC
