What a day today. Firstly I had to 'rescue' Leo from my male guinea. I don't know what he did to set him off but that guinea was really after him. He plucked out most of Leo's tail feathers. He's leaving him alone now so I guess he's decided that Leo was properly chastised, but jeez.

Secondly, Pretty Boy has a terrible limp. I'm not sure what's causing it. I checked him out and it doesn't look like it's bumblefoot so that's out. No obvious wounds and the leg isn't hot to the touch, but he's barely using it. So I've separated him out and I'm going to put him on tetracycline - since it's broad spectrum hopefully if he has an infection it will take care of it. Also gonna worm him and everyone else since it's about that time anyway and hit them all with Eprinex in case of scaly leg mites. So we'll see how it goes. I hope I don't lose him, he's a great rooster. Just a bad rooster day here.

Could jsut be a bruised leg. I've had that happen. Though my C.Rocks were so big I had to lower the roost. One roo hurt his leg jumping down. Hope his leg gets better.

Welcome Sammy.

Anyone know about this Ad from Purdue with the Oregano in the water for health benefits?

I know that Oregano Essential oil has awesome antibiotic properties for humans, so I wouldn't hesitate to try it on other creatures too.

Yes, but that's mostly just for treating coccidiosis. What are you trying to treat?

Then yep, that's what you want. The dose is 3/4 teaspoon for a moderate outbreak, or 1.5 teaspoons for a severe outbreak. Mix into a gallon of water. Treat with it for 3-5 days.

uthink it will kill them

Do you mean the Corid? The Corid won't kill them. If you mean the coccidiosis, then yes, it definitely can if not treated. But Corid is very effective at treating it so treated they'll likely be fine.
