My lovely bride stopped at my request and bought some Brewer's Yeast today. It is granulated very fine and I have racked my brain pan for some means or application to the pellet style food I'm feeding. A few stray thoughts have accured but I thought I might seek council from the board.
I would appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I use either olive oil or spray a light mist of water on the seed before adding the powder. Give it a shake or three to stick it to the seed. I like the olive oil personally. Good for the feathers.

A tablespoon of olive oil or a vegetable cooking oil will allow the granualated powder to adhere to the feed. Just drizzle the oil anound mixing tub on top of the feed; then add the powder and take your hands and mix well.

Tapp,
I feed black sunflower seed too, so I dont need to add oil very often. I do what Nick said with the oil. I use these little coffee cans to feed from so I just shake them up a little after I get it loaded with feed,oil whatever. Just don`t over do it and a little probably would nt hurt them. I use it for pro bios,vitamins,wormer powders,and anti biotics.Whatever won`t mix with the seed

I like to coat the seed with a few tablespoons of cod liver oil then mix in the Brewer's Yeast. The fish oil provides Vitamin A and D, which is present in greens but absent in grains, but essential for good health; like assimilating Calcium for the hens, especially this time of year. My birds don't get many greens to eat!
YITS,
Cliff
