Kathy, what is this product, when should it be used and how does one use it?

This is the response I received : BYCHP David sent you this private message on BackYard Chickens, July 29, 2:53 pm willy 546, It has been quite the discussion thread since you posted that you had success with Zyfend A and I responded with a thank you for purchasing and using the...

I agree, however this product brand is Backyard Chickens and in bold is states Use during worm infestations. All natural with no synthetic chemicals. Helps offset worm related issues. When it arrived it was the bottle with instructions on the back. What is one to think?

Thank you for your response to my post. I didnot have a sample examined prior to using the product. When I purchased the product I was led to believe it was for parasite control. I did have fecal matter tested after I used the product. It's good news, no worms and it's good new to know the...

I hate using wormers on my chickens, but at times it's necessary. I was on line one day and saw a clip regarding a product by Backyard Chickens, (Zyfend A). It all natural with no synthetic chemicals and helps offset worm related issues. I ordered some from Jeffers, felt uncomfortable using it...

I give brewers yeast daily with my chickens greens. Seems to make the eggs appearance better.

I do feed Brewers Yeast to my chickens, I add it to their food. No garlic.

Thanks for the tip, I now shred the junk mail to use as bedding. Keep the junk mail coming it's great.

Nice alternative, I don't collect newpapers. Will keep it in mind for the future.

Pumpkins and squash is one of their least favorite foods.

Squash isn't a veggie they care for....

I put it on the skin, back of the neck. I heard some use it under the wing.

Yeast if good for humans as well as chickens and other animals. There are 2 types, one is very flavorful the other is mild. I buy Twinlab Genuine Brewers Yeast. It's also a good source of calcium.

Great choice, something you can really use.

Yea! Another rice hull lover. Been using them for 10+ years, first my horse then a year ago my chickens.

Yes, I buy them at a local feed store. To bad they aren't offered in your area.

I also recommend rice hulls, they dry very fast after a rain, used them for 10 years in my horse's paddock. Now been using them for my chickens. The poop clings to the hull keeping your area cleaner in every way. Plus the chickens love playing in them. Good luck.

Yes, they were very ill. I discovered rats were invading their run at night, they got sick from the feces. Then one layed a rubbed egg and got peritonitis. After 10 days on meds they choose not to eat any of their food, including corn. My vet said feed them what they will eat for a while then...

For several months my chickens were free ranging, I've since enclosed them due to raccoons, they have about 300 sq feet to run, play, hunt for food etc. They just completed finished antibiotics for an illness and will not eat commercial food. I've tried laying crumbles, pellets, pellets with a...

I put my 4 new chicks on a bed of rice hulls. No dust, they peck them but spit them out. Mine were eating the wood shavings so I changed immediately. My full grow chickens love rice hulls, they find a few bugs and a grain of rice every so often. Easy to clean and recycle. Earlier I found a post...
