Im sure... I just know from the scientific person in me I love seeing fast results from a product thats actually does what it says!
 
ahhh my first death! Dh called me at work to tell me he found a dead one in the coop:-( he left it in the burn pile

I told him he should have put it in a bad and in fridge drawer ( empty) so that I could process it and look at what might have happened-heart attack or what not-If I was home I would have done it right then and there-too late now-it wasnt even the one who had a bad leg:-( poor baby
 
oh bummer! losses are to be expected though. I'm guessing it had more to do with the breed and the weather than something comunicable. How do you use the oxine on them?
