Wow! I missed another busy day!!!

We've put a chick order in for a silver laced polish pullet, a gold laced polish pullet, a red frizzle cochin (unsexed), and a buff laced polish pullet. We'll probably keep 2, or else I'm going to be building another coop....

I tried searching the thread a bit for something that I think someone posted about oregano - but can't find it.

This is not oregano for chickens, but for people. Did someone post how to use oregano oil for sore throat/ear infection type ailment? I'm wanting to try it for me but can't find the instructions.

Oregano kills yeast infections anywhere in your GI track. I was prescribed that a year or so ago by my ND. Warm garlic oil dropped in the ear with a warm compress helps with ear infections. I use that for my daughters quite a lot.

New chicks are so much fun! How do you get only a few? I thought when you ordered you have to purchase 25.

There's a farm just outside of Vancouver that orders large batches from the hatcheries and distributes to their customers. So they are ordering a March 1st hatch and everyone puts in their orders. That way, they order 25+ and we all get to have just the ones that we want

We use OOO religiously!!! Also, I've been drinking a tea of cayenne pepper, honey, lemon, ginger and ACV because Noro and the Flu are rampant here and none of us have gotten it so far!

Tried to put them together but lost animation.



If someone knows how to get it moving again that would be great. I use to have apps for it but no longer have them. I may try some time when it is not so late and I am caught up on the thread.

What is the exact formula for your tea?
