Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 This is NOT meant as an official admonition to take E.O.s orally, or to stay away from vets. It is just something that happened. Shortly after I took the chicks off their medicated feed, after they had nicely feathered out, the meat birds started to get sick and die. The mixed breed, which doesn't get as big but is sturdier, seemed fine. ( I tried a mixed bunch this year) Now in the past I have always added a bit of H2O2 to their drinking water. We have lost birds to any predator you can think of, from skunks to dogs to hawks to grizzlies, but never to disease. It freaked me out to find a dead bird almost daily, and to see new ones standing around looking glassy with their feathers all ruffled, knowing they were next. Then we figured out the H202 might have lost its potency. So I started adding just one drop of Butch's magical germ fighter to each gallon container of drinking water. The birds stopped dying a few days later and continued to live to maturity. They are now resting peacefully in the freezer. Of course I can't prove anything but I am convinced the oil of O did the trick. Butch, if you're ever around, come for chicken dinner.
