cider vinegar and garlic should they be given the birds feeding young

 

I'm a great believer in both, but not when the birds are rearing youngsters, and I do not give anything else either during that month. My reason: the youngster hatches with a totally sterile gut, and the parents seed it with everything it needs for immunity during those first few weeks, and I don't think any human can improve on that. Cider vinegar and garlic will intefere with this seeding.

I give cider vinegar and milton on alternate days all year round. Yogurt on the food when the young have been weaned off.

garlic once a week usually tuesday's and crushed .

Cider vinigar most days cept friday and saturday for old birds.Every day for young birds unless i give them garlic the od the day .when youngsters are racing they get same as old birds crushed garlic once a week and cider vinigar everyday cept friday and saturday.Cant say whether it helps or not but Saying that i have been behind in the first three race's but ive had no training so hopefully that will change this week.Last year i did ok in oldbirds(took channel average's) and a few inland place's my youngbirds where excellent and where up there every race i sent.
