can chickens drink moonshine???

[onthespot]

if your chickens are sick, you could post in the diseases and injuries emergency forum. If they have coccidia or coryza or some disease, moonshine or any alcohol based drink will not help cure the disease. People drink to feel better when they feel bad. By the time a chicken looks like it is feeling bad, it is usually VERY SICK, and getting it drunk will not help it to recover at all, and may end up killing it. Why don't YOU settle down with the moonshine, take a few sips here and there while you read the Injuries and diseases and emergencies forum. THAT will help you chiken a lot more than giving it the moonshine directly. LOL Good luck. Hope youf chicken is not really sick right now...

I'm honestly not laughing at you! I was placing bets with myself before I opened your thread as to which state you lived in. 1st guess was TN, 2nd guess was GA

I guess they could drink it, but I'm not sure it would provide medicinal value. Maybe for external wounds it would be a good sanitizer

Then again, I've had some stuff that was laced with peaches, and that might give em some nutrients

We once had a dog get into someones antifreeze and passed away. The vet told us if it ever happened again to give the dog strait vodka and it helps flush the poison out of the body. Wish we would of know that sooner!!

I recall a "Ma and Pa Kettle" film that I saw as a "youngster". Pa Kettle filled the horse-trough with moonshine to "hide it".

The Rooster hopped up on the trough and drank and drank and drank.......

Then the Rooster walked around "cross-legged" for a while before he fell over.

I'm still laughing about that !!! It was one of the funniest things that I ever saw. (Don't know if the rooster survived or whether or not he had a bad hangover.....)

Giving alcohol to chickens isn't a good idea. BYC would have to open a 12 step thread for addicted chickens. Plus, chickens require enough of my time as it is, I sure wouldn't want to have to start driving them to meetings.

The Alcohol would not have medicinal value, however, like that in Nyquil, it could work to calm, make the chicken sleep better.

Did you tip the jug before comming up with that question?

This could be the answer to all the early morning crowing. Think how loud the roos are and that pounding head. Bet they stay quiet till noon.
