Some concerns on health side can be addressed with modest changes in husbandry technique. Avoiding cross contamination of water, keeping birds on grass, and allowing ground to rest can help a lot with respect to a lot of parasites. When I use chemicals for health management, it is used only with birds with known health issue and every effort is made to treat using medication as intended. Prophylactic treatments or using calendar as guide promotes resistance disease organisms and promotes persistence of disease susceptible stock. Once you start relying on the use of therapeutics you dig yourself into a hole that is hard but not impossible to get out of.







Yes, I meant hole and I could misspell my way into one any day of the week.

Nah I'm pretty sure they are mine. And I think you meant hole.

I am happy to see people still recognize the all natural method of health and resistence. If anyone has followed my rants in the past you'd know that I prefer a flock procured through natural selection. The ones that survived predators, fights and disease are the only chickens I want in my yard. I have never vaccinated a bird in my life and have only provided antibiotics to certain birds on the verge of death. I use diatomaceous earth to treat the water and as dust for parasites. This stuff is like a miracle powder, its good for their digestion and dewormings as well.

I used med on my birds when something gets out of control .
I wish I could produce my on chicken scratch eventually probably I will. Just to imagine
All the pesticide on the chicken scratch make me sick.
They are so many natural ways to pesticide ,
But business don't run that way.
To preserve good healthy birds I help give them apples ( thanks God I got apples trees all over the yard) I also give them red onions some like it some don't at the end they all eat it anyways. Lol
Food waste that has broccoli or garlic .
I'm chicken crazy Am I? XD

Your not crazy (to us).. your among fellow chicken crazy people.. lol..
I collect leftover produce for my chickens all the time... lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, bread, torillas. basically anything that I would eat I give to my chickens... I even breed meal worms by the thousands and feed them to my chickens.( I have 6 - 18 gallon totes full of worms and beetles)... I also grow barly grass in containers and give it to them almost daily, because I dont have a lawn at my new house yet.

I use mealworms as a training tool. Using such is a game changer when taming down birds brought into confinement for extensive handling, I want birds to walk out to step on my arm and do not want to take two weeks to that happening. Small amounts of grain mix is what I was taught to use but mealworms seem to like them as if they are dope. Even flighty birds take notice of the movement and the larvae are relative cheap, keep well, and are easy to dispense as you go past penned birds. Makes for a much more consistent process.
