I don't use the stuff myself, i have heard of people dropping a normal multi vitamin tablet into the hens water.

Probably do the same job & a damn sight cheaper than £15.95

It makes the drinkers all slimey and impossible to clean!  >:(
I use poultry spice powder instead!

yep, I use it. Don't add it to the water all the time. Probably once a month or so - I think it's probabkly a good thing although I'm sure you could make up your own
