It makes sense that what we put into our poultry will be what we get out. Poultry performance, whether that be for show, egg production, meat or pets, relies heavily on poultry nutrition and sometimes a few supplements to help our chickens go a long way.

You might be surprised to discover that you don’t have to go to your local feed-supply store to get premium supplements. In fact, many simple supplements can be found in your home cabinets that can help stabilize feathers, increase egg quality and boost the general health of your poultry.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR 

Apple cider vinegar is a panacea for many common health conditions, which applies to that of our chickens as well. Studies have shown that chickens given a dosage of apple cider vinegar in their water will have a higher percentage of beneficial antioxidants and lower one of toxic stressors in their cells. These antioxidants help fight against bacteria that cause conditions such as salmonella and E-coli, giving your chickens a stronger immune system and health.

By cleaning out your chicken’s system of those harmful bacteria, chicken raisers are also supporting their chicken’s gut health. This helps with absorption of beneficial nutrients and digestion to bring your chickens the nutrients they need, making them stronger for any purpose.
