alright y'all sorry to ask this, I have researched this topic and i'm a little confused. What is a good antibiotic and vitamin to give my bobs? Just as a preventative or routine if you will, Again sorry to ask the same old questions but I am confused about it. Help would be great on this, I'm in southern Indiana and its hot and humid running in the 90's@ day maybe mid 70's@ night but humid as hell..Thank you   Russ s85

No need for any medications, unless the birds are sick.

Worm them twice a year. Spring before breeding season, then 10 days later, to get any eggs that hatched. Same in the fall.

Vitamins are good all year. Not every day though.
Get the water soluble type at feed stores, meant for birds.
Mix fresh each day and do not set the water in the sun.

Cool, fresh water in clean containers will help your birds stay healthy.

 ty2 Thank you very much sir. reading about all the meds can make a feller go crazy, no signs of sick birds just wanting to prevent. clean waterers every fill, twice a day, not in sunlight, raised them up to keep poo out if them (kindda works) clean feeders twice a week or if they poo in them,trying to do everything possible to keep them healthy. love watching them attack watermelon, peaches,sweetcorn is their favorite and tomatoes, those are good supplements i guess. thanks for the advice..Russ
