Egluntyne Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It is a mineral supplement. Just add a little say 1/2 a tsp to a grub full of pellets, especially useful during a moult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMike Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 someone please answer this, as I'm trying to work out a 'minimalist' shopping list for what are the basics I'll need for my chooks when I finally get them, what will be useful but not essential, what would be a nice to have, and what is frankly not needed at all...

jomaxsmith Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It's a useful tonic, I think, but not necessary as a permanent part of the diet. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It is just a mineral supplement...not vital at all. It smells like garam massala. I have some knocking about, but rarely use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'm using it through the moult but on really cold nights I give them some mixed in with warm porridge as I pick me up. It's not something I use regularly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It is a mineral & vitamin supplement - I do use in their winter pellet porridge & during moults - it has many spices in it, including ginger, so very warming for feather-less girls on cold days. 1 teaspoon is supposed to be enough for 10 birds - so a tub lasts forever - I am not a quarter way into my tub after about 8 months.
