    Help! My chicken ate rat bait!

    Hi, Sorry to hear about your chickens eating rat poison. Rat poison is such a bad thing to keep around. I don't know if you know this or not, but chickens are really good hunters. You may want to get it off your property immediately. They will keep your mouse population down just being in...

    Bumblefoot surgery - with pics and "how to"

    The Vetricyn is an antibiotic. The article I posted explains about superbugs and how the antibiotics are not helping but actually hurting, both humans and animals. If you want to take care of this chicken and really get rid of the infection quickly and non-toxically, use Sovereign Silver or...

    Please, please, please reconsider, using ANY form of antibiotic unless it's herbal, homeopathic, silver or any other natural antibiotic. Giving your animals antibiotics contributes to the superbugs that are resistant to the antibiotics. Not just for your animal's health, but for your health...

    Food Grade Diatomacious earth. Easiest to apply with a puffer. I can't find my puffer right now. But it would make it extremely easy to get the DE under their feathers. Also make sure they have a dust bath area and mix DE in with that sand or dirt. LibertyChick

    Are you saying 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide is caustic to healthy tissues? Or hydrogen peroxide diluted down to 3% (1 part H2O2 & 11 parts distilled water) is caustic to healthy tissues? Yes, 35% is caustic but 3% is not. You can actually put 85ppm H2O2 in livestock drinking water. I...

    Who was taking care of the chicks during the 3 days? Did they see the red mites? How did you determine it was red mites? Was it so many hours after dark? I lost my rooster a couple weeks ago and he had mites. I could see evidence of his bites during the day even. I checked my girls and...

    A vitamin B-2 (riboflavin) deficiency can cause them to not be able to stand. Give her lots of vitamin B rich foods. LibertyChick

    What is wrong with hydrogen peroxide? Its great for killing all kinds of germs, is non-toxic and won't poison your chicken with toxic petrochemicals. Anything you use on your chicken, in their food or water transfers into the meat ans eggs. May I ask what you are using for your chicken's...

    Might that food be of questionable quality? After all, it was meant as food for birds that we do not consume the meat of or their eggs. LibertyChick

    Hi Esther, What exactly are you giving your chicks? If you got the kefir grains yesterday, then you couldn't possibly be giving them kefir yet as it wasn't enough time to culture dehydrated grains yet. Are you giving them the grains themselves? I hope you have enough grains to culture in...

    Seriously, $148, yikes!!! Hydrogen peroxide is $3 and will not harm their intestinal flora. They need the good flora in their body. Use kefir to give them awesome probiotics and the probiotics will kill the bad guys in their system. LibertyChick

    I would like to stress again the "Law of the Terrain." What that means that if the immune system is strong and the animal or human is healthy, than viruses/bacteria/etc won't be a problem. The reason there are so many chickens in your area is because the species as a whole is weaker than they...
