Oregano oil works for cocci and worms, it works!

[Somshine]

I don't know how many of you are into homeopathic remedies but one I have found that is excellent is oregano oil mixed in olive oil.
Its a very harsh and caustic oil so it HAS to be diluted but it will worm them and it appears to kill cocci almost instantly as well.
Been great for treating my pea babies because sometimes they don't look sick one minute and the next are at deaths door. About tablespoon of oil and 4 drops of oregano oil mixed in a cup and then droppered into the edge of their beaks so it doesn't go down wrong pipe. That much should treat 4 or 5 birds.

Oregano oil is pricey tho at health food stores. Online is much cheaper but those are only places you can get it.

Its saved quite a few of my birds now, had my flock rooster go down last week, found him in coop laying on side with head laying on ground. I didn't think I could save him but brought him in house and dosed him, within 2 hours he expelled a huge roundworm and up and runnin about!

I know this is an old post but it came up for me so I thought I'd add this. Why not mix it with coconut oil? That's what I use. Because coconut oil is also antibacterial antifungal and anti parasitic.

This is some of the worst advice I have seen in a long time. Oregano is for SEASONING birds not healing. them. No science no dice.

Would like to thank you for your post. I had a sick chicken and tried the oil of oregano and Extra virgin olive oil and gave her 2 doses 2 days apart in her beak and she is now running around with the others. I lost my other chicken about 4 months ago and unfortunately I hadn’t found your post in time. Brings me comfort to have this on hand in case it happens again.

So glad this worked for your birds and they're feeling better!

Those did not heal your chicken. Chickens are like cockroaches they can survive incredible amounts of stress and adversity before even showing symptoms. Neither of those did anything for the chicken. Correllation does not equal causation.

Why do you believe that?

Why do you believe that?

not a matter of belief, when you domesticate a species and breed it for thousands of years to be disease resistant it's going to be disease resistant hence why they are like cockroaches. Peafowl do not have that kind of background despite being bred since ancient times as they were never bred consistently to produce food like chickens.

So why do you believe that oregano oil won't help in making a bird better?
