Rooster Booster Question

[HotSauce1271]

I got 4 silkies and 1 frill. My first silkies. My question is: I was told by the breeder I got them from that silkies need to be on vitamins. She recommended getting Rooster Booster and adding to their water. I was wondering if this was something I need to keep doing when they are full grown, or just add until 6 or 8 months? Thanks.

You can always call the breeder for clarification of her recommendation.
I would not add extra vitamins continuously.
I am assuming these are chicks? I would probably give vitamins in the water for the first few days, but then switch to just plain water.

That's what I was thinking. I will try to get a hold of her and ask. Thanks for the response

She said add it to their water until 8 weeks, then use it maybe once or twice a month.

Interesting. Well. This breeder may know something we don't.

Could be, or may not know and just guessing lol. I will dig around a little more through replies and internet. Compile it all and see what the most common answer is.
