Ducks shunning former Toulouse Goose leader

Will do. I'm counting the minutes now till I hear the phone ring and know he's home and done another assessment! Thanks for the suggestion - I've left him a message letting him know to alternate the oregano oil with the ACV - quick question -- If I remember correctly we don't have any ACV in the cupboards, only malt and white. Do you think it would make much of a difference if he treated them tonight with white and could get the ACV tomorrow. I imagine the white might be a good bit stronger=more stinging than the ACV and that's why the apple cider is preferable?

Thanks again - I'll fill you in later on what's what. For me, I just want to get home to my sweeties and be able to release them from having to coop in their yard all day long.

I don't think I'd use the white just have him use the oregano oil for tonight and pick up the unpasteurized tomorrow most G stores now carry it. and if the cough is very noticeable
have him add 2 tab to 1 gallon of water after he picks some up.
Here's a bit of info on using ACV http://keeping-chickens.me.uk/what-to-keep-in-stock/apple-cider-vinegar

I'll pass that on, yes, thank you. He just called and said he didn't notice any more coughing in Little Cay (good news!) but that it was too dark to see Buff's eye so he'll take a good look tomorrow morning before work and pick up the unpasteurized ACV on his way home. Will let you know then.

Other things you may want to add to your flocks med chest

Oxine ah I had to order on line http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/oxine.htm
Veterycin spray for wounds and infections http://vetericyn.com/
Nu Stock for cuts and wounds http://www.nustock.com/
Un Pasterized ACV

Glad to hear about the coughing doesn't seem to be a problem.

I like both Nustock and Veterycin but use the Veterycin more often.
