Interesting....liver worms Yikes, that's some serious business there.

Must be the way dish soap works, or perhaps it is just Basic H?

 

[Pullet Surprise]

Honestly, I've read mention of other organic/natural soaps doing the same thing...there again it's the science behind it. Except I have not read about other brands killing liver worms etc, but as far as working as a 'wetting solution" on crops etc, yes. Wonder if anyone has ever kept track of or done a study on it.

Surfactants are the key. Many detergents don't contain surfactants. That's why basic h works and others may not.

Hummmm, when I get some time I will do some more poking around this is most interesting....and before Stoney gets bored...use on crops/soil or not and the surfacants may be the key to the worm killing thing so YES it is chicken related

Ok stony..got chicken related info here....stirred the ff today. Added lots of yummy stuff to it. I think I will wait till Sunday to give them the first taste. Let them free range all day. They seemed to enjoy that. Got 8 eggs today so I'm happy, almost got to full egg count.

Got almost all of this month full of orders for eggs. So everything is going swimmingly

I had two pullets lay over 3oz eggs today. I bet they they are going to be some serious jumbo egg layers.
