Especially true if you actually want them to survive.
Hi, and I realize your response was directed to another, but ... since my name came up? Figured I'd set the record straight.
The circumstances, I thought, were that the owner of birds infested with unidentified internal parasites was waiting specifically for Corid to arrive at some later date, specifically for the *later* treatment of what was presumed to be coccidiosis.
From
my intial response, in which I first suggest that ACV be used:
When I suggested that my reason for using an astringent solution was "...primarily to strip the mucus from their systems," my research was requested and this use of Apple Cider Vinegar was
challenged by one of BYC's more legendary members, to which
incontrovertible proof has been provided. Further, it was suggested that the word 'stripping' might need further clarification, which has since been done:
Indeed, my use of the word 'stripping' wasn't the best choice, despite this being essentially the action that's taking place. To better clarify, based upon my findings of fact, more appropriate wording might be:
SoOo ... it'd been easier to just chalk this one up to a breakdown in communications on my part, and be done w/ it. But, that would lead to continued misunderstanding about Apple Cider Vinegar, which is indeed beneficial for tons of reasons, and has virtually no potential to do even the slightest harm.
I'm not advocating or condemning anything or anyone ... just presenting absolute fact, based upon sound research, and confirmation from reliable sources. And, whether it's your chickens, or mine, or his, or anybody else's? That's what we all need, should such emergencies arise in our flocks.
Although I do prefer natural solutions 'n such? I start my flocks w/ Amprolium, and will keep a fresh bag of it on the shelf, along w/ fenbendazole.
