Strong Animals Chicken Elixir - question

[Chickenman1220]

It's not an antibiotic but I still wouldn't use it as it is just snake oil. I'd just put the money you would have spent on this product into either quality chicken feed or into buying supplies for a chicken first aid kit, either of those will do your flock far more good

Whats a chicken first aid kit? This is the first time hearing about this.

Oregano has antibiotic properties, but it's not an antibiotic

Gotcha! Ty

Yes, thanks for the clarification.
If that stuff has those properties then it's an antibiotics, if not, it's just nice scented water.

Basically it's a kit with supplies to handle any emergencies that come up. Off the top of my head some good things to have around are corrid, calcium citrate + d3 tablets, neosporin triple antibiotic without pain relief (very important for it to have no pain relief as the pain reliever used is toxic to chickens), gauze, petroleum jelly, Epsom salt, syringes and perhaps a tube feeding kit. All good stuff to have around if a bird gets injured or sick. There's other good stuff to add too, so just take my list as a good starting point

The pain relief thing is much closer to myth than fact, I would not hesitate to use it if I had to.
