Are you really serious about this?

Yes...I've done it for my Slifer when she had a cold.
VetRx is also something good to keep on hand.

I guess I was startled, because the smell of that stuff is pretty hard to take , even for humans!
But it's definately worth trying as an alternative to drugs.

Speaking as a human, I love garlic and whenever I am congested, Vicks Vaporub is a great treatment for congestion!

What's good for the goose is good for the hen too!

They use Vicks also when they've found dead bodies that have been "cooking" for a while...

Ok, that's not exactly comforting.

Ok....all the hens that were sick seem fine now, but the first one to be sick (Henrietta) still has a "droopy comb" no more discharge from her eyes or nose and her breathing seems fine, no more congestion. Should I be worried about the droopy comb???? What does it mean??


PS. You have all been so kind and helpful with all my stupid questions. I have learned soooo much in just a weeks time. Thanks to all and to BYC for having such a wonderful website!!!!!!!

Some breeds have big droopy combs. Just get them back to health and she may always have one.
