Well. THis is a great start to a cloudy morning. my mom called me and told me to go out and give Poly-Vi-Sol to a naked neck hen who had been acting just a little off this morning. I go out 20 minutes later to find her Stone Cold Dead. I examined her (I'm no vet, just checked for the basics like you know a broken neck or leg or injuries, something obvious) and all I could find was a few mites, which we have been trying to control. She's at Point of Lay, we were expecting eggs soon, but looks like that's now up to our other Turken hen. Grr. I was wondering would a puffball mushroom poison a chicken? I wouldn't think it would be that quick to kill though. Or do you guys think it was just Sudden chicken Death? I know it happens. I've had a lot of them, but it still sucks.
The other question, which i'm trying to focus more on, is do you guys have any experiences with Epsom Salt flushes? I had a link to something about it, but then I lost the link. My mom wants to do it for most of our birds to increase health. But I'm not sure where I had found it, and was wondering if I could get any help?
Thank you for any info on either subject.
