Fantastic! I'm not sure if you realize it, but you used a herbal concentration and dosage of SJW. Very different than the homeopathic concentration. This is similar to the strength used in the human studies linked by chooks a few weeks ago. How funny, extrapolating human studies for use in...

If it was indicated, I might use St Johns Wort as an herbal remedy for one of my pests, I mean pets. Once the concentration is stabilized, herbal and western drugs pretty much follow the same basic rules. It makes sense to me. I do find myself though not understanding homeopathy. To *me* it...

There is one well known thing that works with Marek's Disease signs- vaccination. The problem is that it must be done young and before any signs are noted though it does have unintended consequences. But- it does work for the majority of cases so far. Sigh. I know I feel better about using...

Latent periods are not unusual with Marek's Disease. In other words- even non-medicated chickens will show symptoms, appear to recover (or not get worse), show symptoms, recover, and so on. With or without hypericum or any other current therapy, this cycling is normal. In these latent periods...

SJW is hypericum. Though I get the feeling our definitions of hypericum are different. The active ingredients of SJW or hypericum that are thought to be of use are hypericin and hyperforin. So really you shouldn't be buying hypericum but instead hypericin or hyperforin, whichever one you feel is...

I found liquid St Johns Wort at Puritans Pride on-line vitamin, etc store. I used to order from them and always with good service and good sales. http://m.puritan.com/herbal-authority-brand-0218/st-johns-wort-liquid-extract-007841

FYI- SJW should not be given while treating with ivermectin.

As long as they aren't in distress physically or mentally and you are able to meet their changing needs, there is no reason to cull yet. Your other birds have been exposed so culling won't change that. You're the only one that can tell if/when it's overwhelming you. You may have to alter some...

I'm currently fighting an invasive weed with pretty flowers. Sigh. In it's native land, a fungus helps keep this plant under control. That fungus doesn't grow here so there is no biological control. Wildlife and livestock don't eat it so it has free reign, overcoming the native plants. In my...

In sufficient quantities it causes sun sensitivies in livestock. The sores allow an opening for parasites or infections, etc. Since it's invasive it spreads easily and quickly. An area that could grow St Jphns Wort in sufficient quantities for mass production usually has other crops or...

LOL even more difficult to patent since the feds as well as several states list it as an invasive or noxious plant. Might be difficult to find a place to grow it without bankrupting the company with eradication of volunteer plants. http://www.invasive.org/browse/subinfo.cfm?sub=4411&start=1

Sigh, i break electronic equipment just by touching it. Not even that sometime, just entering my name sent the computer systems in a major hospital down. Not once but TWICE!!

Thanks for the effort. Everytime I switch computers I have to rebuild my bookmarks. Argh, pita.

Depending on the hen's level of antibodies transfered through the egg, maternal antibodies can interfere with vax on day old chicks. Oh so much can go wrong. http://www.canadianpoultrymagazine.com/maternal_antibodies.htm -Kathy when you have time, could you find that article? Thanks

Looking at something else I found this on my local University's research page. Not the full paper but it does talk about hen's diet. Also some additional links. More to add to your files ;) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17081738?dopt=Abstract

Here's a link that discusses vitamin C in dogs. Though it doesn't say it in this article, Ester C should not be used in puppies as it adds calcium and there are certain breeds and mixes that should not have added vitamin C (hyperurisocoria dogs)...

Thanks! Funny just after I posted the question I realized I'd forgotten to ask about the gut's beneficial inhabitants. Now I'm wondering if any tests had been done to see what worked best in chickens or if it depended on the current problem. Probiotics are recommended for dogs with pica(eating...

Chooks4Life, I've got a question for you. I think it's up your alley ;-) Do you keep track of chicks that get wry neck, spraddle leg, etc to see if their offspring have a similar problem? If maybe it's not that they didn't get enough B vits but that they couldn't use them? Or a tendency to...

In the backwards way that homeopathy is figured- yes. Though it's been diluted a massive amount.
