- "Tried and tested tips to help you breed dragons, including the old-time favourite of brandy and chicken blood every half hour for newly-hatched chicks."
- — Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit blurb[src]
A mixture of brandy and chicken blood could be used by wizards to feed newly-hatched dragon chicks by the bucketful every half-hour, as covered in Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit.[1] This concoction apparently served as a replacement for dragon milk, and had been used in the breeding of dragons[2] since the 17th century. Rubeus Hagrid made this mixture in 1992, to feed to his newborn dragon Norbert (later Norberta).[1]

- ↑ Given the fact that dragons produce milk in the first place, that this mixture is the first thing a newborn dragon consumes, as well as the fact that dragons obviously cannot make brandy, it appears this is a wizarding replacement for dragon milk used to feed newborn dragons.
