Probiotics?

[ChickyMama4]

Hello I'm a first time chicken mama and I want to make sure my babies get the best care. So I was advised to put probiotic in their water so I have been along with vitamins and electrolytes. I started reading the back of their feed though and it says it has probiotics in it also. They are all happy and healthy looking and acting but I want to make sure I'm not giving them too much. Is this ok?

Adding probiotics etc to water isn't a bad idea in the first week or so as it can help ease them through shipping stress. After that, if they're doing fine, you can switch to plain water. Most additives are not meant for long term use.
