An older gentleman who has been breeding birds for 20-30 years told me just this year that One single drop of iodine in the drinkers prevents alot of dead in the shell during breeding season.

Wow - I use it much more diluted than that. Hmmm what kind of birds was he breeding and what size of drinkers did he use?

HI and welcome to the forum :!: If you fill in your profile with your location... I wouldn't ask - whereabouts are you since you're not in the US and don't know if Vanodene V17 is available there. And what exactly is Vanodene V17?
