What some advice or a tip thats been shared with you, or something you have passed on that you've not heard of or considered before?
I was chatting the other day to an Asian lad, who swears by adding Tumeric powder to the feed with a bit of oil.
He said it's has benefits on the gut health of the birds as well as boosting their immune systems!
Something I may have to look into this season!

I use a mix of turmeric , cayenne , ginger and cinnamon and charcoal I mix it up together and add 50 percent natural vital mineral to it
I use oil or gemthepax to stick it to the grub a few times a week

A small bottle of yakult does 2 x 2 ltr drinkers, good for calming the gut.

I have been told that before too, but then you see others feed bits of cheese, whey protein and other animal fats etc.
Maybe small amounts are ok?
There's a fancier in my club who swears by the motion if it's good for us, it's also good for the birds! He won his fair share too!
