Honey can go straight into infected wounds and covered and you won't believe how fast they heal!   (this goes for people too!)

"Seven Dust place body of chicken in a plastic bag with the head sticking out of the bag.  Do not put a chickens head in a plastic bag!!  Add Seven Dust, hold bag closed at neck, and shake gently to coat bird with powder."

Only thing that jumped out at me right away- it's Sevin dust, and should be the 5%, not the 10%.

Great idea to put all this together in one format, thumbsup

Don't get all your exercise leaping to conclusions!

Poultry- they may be your pets, they may be your hobby, they may be your livestock. But remember, if you fall down in the pen, unconscious? They WILL eat you.

You might add the following to the Wry Neck category- in one day of treatment, it's given me hope that my bird can be saved. This is a copy/paste from an old wry neck thread.

First week:

Twice a day
2.5 mg of prednisone
400 IU of vitamin E

Once a day
A piece of human vitamin B complex pill or a squirt of human liquid vitamins
Selenium (50 micrograms/day for half size juvenile for 3 days)

For the second week I give

Once a day
2.5 mg of prednisone
400 IU of vitamin E
A piece of human vitamin B complex pill or a squirt of human liquid vitamins

Every other day
Selenium (50 micrograms/day for half size juvenile for 3 days)

For the following weeks I give

Once a day
2.5 mg of prednisone
400 IU of vitamin E
A piece of human vitamin B complex pill or a squirt of human liquid vitamins

Every third day
Selenium (50 micrograms/day for half size juvenile for 3 days)

Do not abruptly stop prednisone, the swelling rebounds, decrease dose
gradually.
Vitamin E recovery can be slow; continue the vitamin E for several weeks at
least.

They all worked for me and I added them to appropriate sections of the op.

I also added a content list for convenience and noted the antibacterial properties of honey.

Thank you!
