WitchHazel Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi All In September's Kitchen Garden magaine, the chicken chappy says he gives his chicks Lifeguard tonic. Anyone else do this please? I'm feeding Smallholder Chick Crumbs, and I had thought these would be fine on their own. I do have Lifeguard tonic for the Garden Girls, so it's not as if I have to go out and buy some. Thanks for your views... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My chicks are on ACV and have been since they were around two week old. I was told they could have been having it from day old but I hadn't realised. I'm just sticking with that so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Battles is ok for chicks at a reduced dose so I would imagine that Lifeguard would be too, it doesnt contain any calcium or anything as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've had ACV in the Bufflings water and Life Guard in Buffie's as I felt she needed the extra help. The babies can't reach into her cage cup but can catch the odd drip as she slops it around Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks for your replies so far. I'll start adding a little ACV to their water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I had mine on Battles for a few days then then ACV, I'm sticking with ACV and they seem to be doing fine on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I know of two breeders who use Life-Guard for chicks - they seem to swear by it. I haven't used it on little 'uns myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
