Chicken Drama- please help!

[aart]

Ok but this is not a thread to debate homeopathy and modern medicine

As happens often with threads, some folks personal agendas take over the OP's concerns and problems.
At least the debate fulfills the 'drama' part of the thread title.

Haha I suppose it does fulfill the last part

It's been my experience (very short one) that not much is really known about chickens, even after centuries of cultivation. I suppose this is because they are "disposable". So, for me, I listen to the experienced "old timers", LOL. They've got most of it figured out even if the answer isn't what we want to hear. Thanks old timers

I think the OP has opened the door between the Western vs Homeopathic debate by stating they are using natural remedies & asking if they should use something stronger.

My personal opinion is that both types of remedies have valuable places for different ailments. In some cases Western medicine is too much & in others Homeopathic is not enough. When it comes to killing parasites I opt for a more aggressive approach. When doing preventive & healthy maintenance I lean more Homeopathic.

Homeopathic remedies are great, but there are some things they simply can not treat.

I agree. I've used chemical and homeopathic dewormers and prefer the homeopathic due to no egg withdrawal.

Yes, that does happen doesn't it?

The 'H' word didn't come up until this post:

The OP was using all kinds of stuff, which was probably part of the problem(s) continuing.

Really @aart? That feels a little argumentative.

Take it from me, biting your tongue and alerting others more capable is the best way to stave off an argument

That said, so far there's been only a few things that would have been better withheld.
