Vitamins

[BBB Becky]

Does anyone add vitamins to their hen's water?

 

[lazy gardener]

Not routinely. If they are having a difficult molt or otherwise stressed, or if I'm going to be collecting hatching eggs, and they don't have access to free range, or if I have new chicks, I do give them Poultry Nutri-Drench.

 

[chickens really]

No, I do not......I feed a pre-made balanced diet that they require zero fillers......Adding things to a Chickens already balanced diet throw the balance off and Chickens can become sick.....



Cheers!

No reason to, IMO, if they are on a good balanced chicken ration.
Could cause more harm than the good you might think you are providing,
not to mention the waste of money.

Only time I've used them(ChickSaver brand-electrolytes/vitamins) was on a heat stroked hen.
