I'm heading to the stockfeed place this morning and hoping to get some recommendations from people. My birds get pink minerals and whole egg in finger drawers but I'm hoping to provide all their supplementation this way as I'm not keen on the idea of forcing supplements on the birds by adding the to the water. Can anyone recommend a powdered calcium supplement that can be fed this way, also any others that are worth getting my hands on...

 

I'm going also pick up some tonic seed which one of my club members recommends which is actually made up by my stockfeed place.

I also use F-vite and Murphys minerals in finger drawers.

I use Vetafarm True Grit in the finger draws and flight dishes. Calcivet in the soft food.

 

Water suppliments I use are Iodine and Moulting aid. That is it.

I haven't been able to find a chemist that either stocks or will order iodine forme, anyone knowwhere I can get it?

Produce stores carry it for horses. I use the weak one.

GREAT!! My produce store sells a lot of horse supplements so I'll check it out.

Chemists will make you up some aqueous iodine if you ask them

What are finger drawers?

Little tiny food fbowls that clip on the side of the cage

I was thinking exactly the same thing Trish... I'm imagining a little tiny chest of drawers that are no bigger than your fingers...

They are long and skinny, like fingers

 

ahhh those are cool! I gotta get me some...

I can sell you some new ones for 60 cents each if you like JB. I'm expecting mine to arrive in the mail next week sometime and I'm getting 80 so I won't need them all at this stage
