Herbal Remedy for the Chicken Cold

[pilatesvictoria]

Hi All, I am new to this forum but am very excited about something I discovered (and forgive me if you all know this already!) I have recently cured my chickens (one of whom I thought would not make it through another day or two) of sneezing, cold -like symptoms, I had been using VetRX as I had read about it on here, and although it helped clear their noses one of them was very miserable and sleeping all day and not eating much at all. I was sitting in my garden which has a wood at the bottom and lots of wild garlic which I was enjoying the aromas from and suddenly realised that being a woodland bird, perhaps the hens would like the garlic, I tore some pieces up and they all gobbled it down, they have a handful every day now and I am happy to say that they are extremely healthy, almost over-night the very poorly one, became a very different hen and is now actually the boss! This is all within the course of one week - the miracle of herbs. PS they had also been having daily thyme, dill, sage before this, but I truly believe the Wild Garlic was the cure.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I am a firm believer in alternative medicine for all my animals and even myself! Herbs can help to boost natural immunity and allow them to heal themselves. And while sometimes it is necessary to use the hard core medications, it never hurts to follow up with home brews, herbal and other natural forums of rejuvenating their bodies.

I am glad your birds responded to the Garlic! And I hope they continue to heal well.

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our flock!

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

I'm a firm believer in using herbs for keeping chickens healthy. I've been using herbs with my flock for the past 2 years and have been studying even longer. I'm not surprised that the garlic was the cure. This is my "go-to" herb when my chickens are sick. It is just filled with health benefits! I'm glad it worked!
