Post corid supplements?

[vantain]

Been recently giving corid to my remaining flock of three hens. Just finishing the second part of this...the 1/3 teaspoon per gallon/day.

Should I add vitamins/electrolytes to the water now that the corid treatment is done? What about probiotics? And, for how long?

You can add vitamins and probiotics for a few days, it won't hurt.

What is best for probiotics? I hear plain Greek yogurt, buttermilk, the sav-a-chick probiotic powder mix...etc. I have never understood what provided the best source, and in what amount per bird. I have the three hens left.

Any of those is fine. For yogurt give about 1 teaspoon per bird, probably the same with the buttermilk.

Thanks Wyorp. I’m still saddened by my last hens passing, and just want to be sure the remaining three stay as healthy as possible.

You are doing what you can. I'm sorry to hear about your hen
