Oregano oil for chickens

[ranger7]

The oil of Oregeno that I use is made specifically for chickens and to be used in their water. It is not just an oil. It has emulsifiers in it that mixes with the water. My chickens love this stuff because they drink it right up.
Bell & Evens which is a company that raises organic chickens for meat uses this oil of Oregeno. I urge anyone whom has chickens to use these products for healthy and happy chickens. Thanks

How much oil should I give them? I have 7 girls.

 

[ranger7]

I put 6cc per gallon of water for 21 days and then 3cc thereafter.

ok, thanks for the info. My water is not a gallon, so can I make a gallon and put the left over in the fridge?

I usually use silver for our birds, I add it to their water from time to time but now I want to try adding a lil oregano oil to their next batch of oatmeal. It tastes pretty nasty so i don't think they would appreciate it being added to their water! Can't imagine it will hurt them any!

By silver do you mean colloidal silver?

They will drink the Oregano oil water.

Never thought about giving them oatmeal, thanks for the idea.

I'm wondering if I should start adding oregano oil to my chicken's water or if I should work fresh oregano leaves into her snacks? She has been getting very skinny even though she has a ravenous appetite so I am suspecting parasites. However, I have given her dewormer and antibiotics and electrolytes and apple cider vinegar in her water, all to no avail. Does anyone think oregano oil might help since these other remedies have not? I am feeding her a variety of vegetable and fruit scraps, plus yogurt sometimes, along with layer crumble feed. Thank you!

I would recommend Ropa Complete:

It has oregano oil plus other good stuff. I just cured two weak hens (one was laying on its side) with runny stools by giving the higher recommended dose. It's expensive for routine maintenance, but works well for curative measures. I only have 7 hens and don't want to start over with new chicks, so I use the lower dose regularly.

Sounds good. Thank you, Carpe DiHen!
