althyGut Probiotics for Chickens, 1 Shovel per 10 Chickens, 240 Grams, 30 Scoops

This is a great value for the quality of this probiotic. I give it to my ducks and chickens. What a life saver to help them every day but especially through a Molt.

My girls are about 9 months old. About 2 months ago I had one that seemed lethargic and when she went to the nest box you could hear her struggling. Living in an area where vets generally treat chickens only in large hen houses and I only have 6 girls, I decided to ask some friends who have a few like me and to research online. One site suggested that my girls might benefit from some probiotics. I continued to research and found Equa Holistics Supplements. I have seen some forums online and they frequently suggested using holistics to treat chickens, I gave it a try. Within a little over a week, she (and the rest of the flock) seemed perkier and weren't struggling nearly as much. Since I added a scoop to the food before it went into the feeder, my whole crowd was getting the probiotics and they all seemed a little livlier not to mention a little more "on key" when they sang the Egg Song!! I love this probiotics and now have it regularly arriving every two months. I won't call it a miracle cure but it really brought some pep to my girls and I love them dearly!! Absolutely worth every penny I spent and I cannot recommend it highly enough!!

I try to do anything I can to keep my chickens health naturally. We add a sprinkle of this to the top of their food every few days. I prefer to add it to chicken scarps I know they’ll eat right away. It is a bit expensive for the amount you get, we also give them other fermented foods from the kitchen.

We breed and raise giant dewlap toulouse geese and have for several years. Last spring we encountered something new - a dwarf gosling. In the first photo he's the tiny gosling on the right leading the pack of much larger goslings. Those larger goslings were several weeks YOUNGER than the tiny one. He just would never grow. He seemed healthy. He was happy and energetic. But he wouldn't grow. We then read an article by John Metzer (Metzer Farms) about poultry and waterfowl dwarfism and his vet's opinion that it's related to the body not property processing the nutrition in feed. Therefore they don't grow as fast. So we bought this probiotic to add to his feed. Voila! Within two weeks he finally started growing some adult feathers and loosing his gosling fuzz (at 5 months old he still only had gosling fuzz). He started getting a little bigger and catching up a bit. You can see on the second photo, we've been giving him this probiotic supplement for about 3 months and although he's still much smaller that his buddy, he's much closer than he was and actually looks like a goose now. We don't know if he will ever fully catch up in body size, but he's finally taken off on a growth spurt and gotten some adult feathers for winter. You could say that this would have happened eventually, but the timing is very coincidental - he has nothing but gosling fluff for the first 5 months of his life, 4 months after he should have started getting real feathers. We start giving his this probiotic and suddenly he's growing real feathers. I'm sold that it's the probiotic and I'm about as big a skeptic as they come.

I add this whenever my chickens guts seem off. Does the trick quickly
