    Grubterra

    Didn't have my crystal ball on me eh to know she's no longer on the site. I'm correcting misinformation. So either way it's better to put it out there so people are informed. Old post or not.

    It's 24mgs per gram of the product. Seriously. The point is it's excellent for shell issues and anyone who is trying to say it isn't needs to do a bit of research or actually use the product and find out for themselves instead of faffing away repeating&regurgitating what you just saw Mary Jane...

    It's in milligrams, not percentages. BSFL contains up to 8% calcium. The calcium carbonate is natural calcium carbonate, not synthetic. If it's naturally sourced from an insect it doesn't cause kidney issues like synthetic carbonate would. It's a far superior choice to give to the flock for...

    1st off nobody said anything about it substituting their layer feed, or BSFL comprising of more than 10% of the diet? Where did you read that in my comment? You give 1 handful between 3-4 hens in the evening time which would be less than 5% of their diet. Secondly, once it hits moisture in the...

    Yeah the Grubterra would be better than the oyster shells for calcium in my experience. I've never found the oyster shell to be of any use. But I'd still leave them out ad lib as a source of grit. Re the Grubterra, a handful daily between 3-4 hens is fine. Better given in the evening time if...

    No petal. I have ex-battery girls and hybrid layers. They are genetically prone to this issue. The oyster shell grit does absolutely nothing. The BSFL on the other hand is amazing. Kill them? No it certainly won't kill them, but they'd be in big trouble without it. It has 24,000mgs of calcium...

    Sorry now but black soldier fly larvae as a source of calcium is far superior to oyster shell grit. My girls have oyster shell grit left out ad lib and it has never helped with shell issues. Give them BSFL and the issue is sorted in 5 days or less. BSFL has 24,000mgs of calcium per kg. Plus it...

    Viable treatment for Marek's Disease.

    Dose is 500mg x twice daily and may need to continue for anything from 1-4 weeks until symptoms reverse. Then she'd need to be kept on a reduced daily maintenance dose for the rest of her days.

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    I use gelatin capsules for giving meds to any of the girls. For the Fluconazole I stuck it in a size 1 gelatin capsule and just get her beak open and pop it down. Also could wet a piece of bread and put the Fluconazole on it and a bit of butter over the whole thing to hide the meds and she...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    Avian vets will see any bird including poultry. There are quite a few avian vets in North Carolina, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting her to one. I'd be fairly certain too that if you do a good ring around you'll find regular vets who will also see your hen and may be able to provide an...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    I'm in Ireland, Europe. To prevent her from laying she'd need to be kept in around the clock for about a week. Then you could gradually let her out for an hour here and there. It's much easier to get her an implant. Total pain in the ass having to keep them in the dark all the time, plus they...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    The Fluconazole should work on a semi-full crop without you having to get the contents removed. My girl's crop was much improved after the 1st tablet and I didn't do any crop emptying with her. Yeah she could easily have a repro issue that's causing or adding to the problem. Mine had a repro...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    Hi. I'd give her 2-3mls of garlic water (cloves blended up in water) every 2-3 hours and leave some kefir out for her to eat freely. If no improvement after 3 days of this treatment I'd get a prescription for Fluconazole from the vet. This will do the trick provided there's no blockage past the...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    ...re-emergence of the sour crop. So a day off the antibiotics and her crop was emptying again but stomach was beginning to harden and she was in sh*t form. So was in a catch 22 because if I gave her the antibiotic her crop would likely fill up again but if I didn't the repro infection would...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    Ok and in your experience will it go to work on the yeast from inside her crop (which is full to brim with fluid) without having to pass through her gut? Because this tablet won't be able to pass through her crop to be digested if you get me? It's not going to get past all the fluid and I can't...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    Thank you. It's definitively sour crop. Crop full of fluid, regurgitating liquid. No impaction and she has been checked by the exotic vets who have said there is no blockage further on. I need a recommendation for an anti-fungal that will work direct as it hits the crop. Nothing is getting...

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    Hi Azygous! Location is Ireland, Europe. Would Fluconazole be an option?

    Anti-fungal for sour crop.

    Hi All, I have a hen with sour crop. Regurgitating liquid, etc. I need a recommendation on an anti-fungal that will treat the yeast directly in her crop without having to go through her digestive system as nothing is getting through her crop at the moment with all the liquid. It's not an option...

    Comment by 'Gigi1983' in article 'Treating Chickens The Natural & Traditional Way'

    Be careful of the dosages with the essential oils here guys. For example she has under oregano oil 1ml per chicken as a dosage, she doesn't say whether that's diluted or undiluted. 1ml of undiluted oregano oil would poison a chicken. She has similar doses of 1ml - 5ml under the essential oils...
