What additives to the water of adult Red Golden's

[Sonja T]

Can someone please tell us what additives you put in the water for your Red Goldens? For vitamins, etc?
We did purchase some VetRx to use for preventative measures.... We'd love to know to know what others
recommend or are doing. Our birds are about 19 months old...

Additives for what?You shouldn't medicate them unless they are sick.It is possible to over medicate pheasants.You'll know they are if their stools are black.
If you just want to get them a little vitamin,they do sell vitamins and electrolytes at most feed stores.Or gatorade.They should be wormed twice a year,just before laying season,and just after laying season.So it is time to worm them.I use ivemectin.
In N.H.,Tony.

Thanks, Tony... we're new at this, although my husband did raise peacocks years ago... First time for pheasants. We appreciate this information
