Iodine is tricky and can cause thyroid issues easily with an overdose.


If you want to give them a little iodine just sprinkle a very small amount of table salt w.iodine into the water you boil their eggs in.

Rinse, .peel and serve. That diluted amount should small enough to not pose a threat.

Organic kelp granules are high in iodine and potassium. I put a pinch of it in the birds mineral dish. I thought it has been used to stop balding in Gouldian Finches.
