Probiotics and Electrolytes

[ewinston55]

Thanks for the info. I'll discontinue the electrolytes, but like you, I know that probiotics are good for their tummy.

These little mutts (guy tried to reproduce his ISA Browns) are growing like little weeds and feathering nicely.

One of my 5 chicken has diarahhea so we gave all 5 chickens water with Hydro Hen 3-1 today for 12 hrs. Sounds like it is safe to give them water with the probiatics until the chicken is well. Is that right?

Here's a good article on natural and home-made probiotics:

I've been trying fermented wheat berries anyway.

I'm also feeding them sprouted wheat, which I just learned is a good prebiotic. I grow it in a $1 dish pan, and it comes out like patches of turf. A good green to give them in the winter.
