What is it then?

I know the cure, I found it out myself, and it's not molasses and/or Epsom salt.

2 - Canada. They are canada's first and currently only Landrace chicken
4 - China. Many believe it is England, but as a matter of fact, the birds were imported from China. Not just the foundation stock. The Nankeen was breeding true in china long before it went to england. It is the parent breed of the Sebright.

What is it then?

Well, my mother as mold allergies, so if she gets exposed to mold, she has to drain the toxins out of her body(like a chicken with botulism). To drain the toxins out, she uses one tablespoon of Cholestyramine powder mixed with some water. I used this on a chicken with botulism (using 1/8 of a teaspoon mixed with 6cc's water) and the next day she was all better. Cholestyramine is hard to get but it works best.
