I was just wondering...
I have been advised elsewhere on the messageboard to try using an anti-cocci medicine on my hens as one of them has always had low energy and poor appetite (and I've tried everything else). She's recovering from being broody for a long while right now and is dreadfully thin, so I will try anything to try and get her to eat properly again.
However, it occured to me that because the meds work by inhibiting thiamine uptake, the poorly hen might be in trouble, as she is just recovering from a severe mite attack (sustained whilst brooding) and is still quite anaemic.
Would it be safe to use on her?
