Hi, I have a £5.00 Voucher towards 1 litre of Life-Guard, but as my hens are all fine at present, would be interested in folks' opinions on using the stuff, please.

Many thanks in advance,

Have to say have used this but no idea if it makes a difference. Never had a hint of ill health in my ducks but maybe that is just because they are healthy! Tend to use it occasionally during moult. Do always use it with my ducklings as they have slightly higher vitamin needs than chicks. They have always thrived but I have no proof that it makes any difference.

I do like the smell though. Makes me think it must be doing some good!

It's good for moulting and if they are a bit under the weather...


I think it smells horrible though!!!     It's a bit yeasty/ irony/ marmitey for me... and rather yellow in colour...   ick

I have a voucher as well but as the product cost £17 in my local place I doubt if I will be purchasing it.

Thanks for the replies.
I had guessed it would be pricey - no-one gives £5.00 off otherwise - so will continue with ACV in their water and when it comes to moulting time, some tins of fishy cat food for the extra protein, I think.

whilst i was searching mareks which killed one of mine, i came across an article in the smallholder magazine, which was about a study of lifeguard carried out by the hampshire agricultural college,
 they stated that their results found that it was very good at helping to contain coccidiosis, which is what killed 2 more of mine, after theie immune got suppressed by the mareks, so mine now have it on a regular basis, as it is apparently also good for helping moulting and stress.

Oh grumpydad,
So sorry to hear of your problems, but pleased that the Life-Guard is helping.
I am reconsidering using it now, but if not, may pm you with offer of my Voucher.  Only thing, it has my name printed on it.

lol, i have been called lots of things in my life but never cathangirl....

thanks, they do seem to be doing ok, even the last little bantam has started squatting, and digging for england...
i will use it from now on, saying that, one water drinker has acv in it, one has crushed garlic cloves which they love, one is plain water and one has life guard, so they can take their pick...spoiled ?

lol
