Helping my chickens stay healthy.

[Caitlincapri]

What is the best thing to put in my chickens water to keep them healthy?
Also what’s the best thing for mites
The best antibiotic to use
Should I be giving them vitamins & electrolytes.
we have about 50 chickens and I think a few we brought home brought something in the yard seems like we always got a sick one.
Please help!!!

You can put electrolytes in their water especially when you see some are sick or it is hot outside and occasionally put some safeguard dewormer for goats in the water (I’d say once a month) to prevent worms. Permethrin for garden and poultry is best to spray on chickens for mites in the meantime if you don’t have you can put some garlic in their water and give the chicken a bath while you get some. I dont think vitamins are needed unless the chicken is very sick.
