HealthyGut Probiotics for Chickens & Poultry, All-Natural Digestive System Dietary Supplement (30 Scoops)

I really like this product! I had been using a product that had to be mixed in their water but it never mixed well, always settled to the bottom of the water and what didn't settle stayed on the top and created a film, and the chickens wouldn't drink the water.. Seeing that, I knew it was not benefitting my girls! I have been using this product for nearly 3 months and saw improvements less than a week after they started having this. I see that all my girls are benefitting from it. I love that this product is simply sprinkled on their food, they eat every bit of their food. I know none of it goes to waste. They all have healthy guts now, no more runny poop!. They all seem to be more active and happier! I thank you and my girls thank you!

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!!

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.

Great for backyard chickens.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This worked well for my chickens and price was good

I've only had these probiotics for a few days, but I think this may be one of my best purchases for my hens. I lost a hen to sour crop/maybe crop impaction last week and decided I needed to be more proactive in keeping my girls healthy so this doesn't happen again. It's 95+ degrees here in August and the girls are cranky with this heat. I can only imagine the heat stress is doing a number on their digestion. I don't know quite what caused the sour crop, but I do feel like if I had proper probiotics/prebiotics for her, she maybe wouldn't have gotten so bad in the first place. I ordered these probiotics for the rest of my flock and they came in overnight (despite saying it would be 1-2 day shipping!). Perfect, as I was anxious that my other hens would get sick from whatever caused my one to get sour crop, and I wanted to get them on these ASAP. I was looking for a supplement that could be spread on food instead of water, and this fits the bill. Putting supplements in water always just seems to be wasted as the hens like to topple the water over or kick stuff into it. Lol. But these probiotics are easily spread over any amount of food, and has a built in scooper for perfect measuring. No more time consuming measuring ratios like 1/2 top to 1 gallon or anything like that. I just pour their daily amount of layer crumbles into their feeding pan, sprinkle this on top, along with some oregano flakes and any other herbs or garden finds. It's a little too soon to tell how much of a difference there have made, but I will say I think that their poo is more firm now for the most part, they're a little less cranky, and so far their fluffy butts are staying clean (they usually were clean anyway though, but a couple did have slightly dirty butts last week along with the hen who died from sour crop). And if anything, its just peace of mind knowing that I'm giving them a much better chance of properly digesting things. And here's just your reminder not to give too many scratch grains (with corn) to your hens in 90+ degree heat, don't let your layer feed sit out in the heat too long, and don't give long grass clippings to your girls. I'm pretty sure one of these is what killed my sweet Nugget. The price is a bit steep, but I do believe I will get more than a month out of this for my flock of 8. And its worth it if they stay healthy!

I love the ease of use with this product. My chickens love the taste and are always eager to eat the food it’s sprinkled in. With the hot summer we’ve had, it’s a good feeling of confident in these probiotics to aid with keeping my flock happy and healthy. It is also a great value because of the small amount needed to do the job. Good product, ease of use, chicken are thriving and easy on the pocketbook.

My chickens seem to love this probiotic. I love that you just sprinkle it on their food, sooo easy. All 18 chickens are healthy and I have been giving it to them since they were babies. The price is great for the amount you get, lasts a long time. Have a few weeks left and will be ordering more.
