Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What types of poultry can this remedy be used on?

Ans: It is suitable for use on all varieties of poultry, including chickens, bantams, ducks, turkeys, geese, and game birds. Both standard and rare breeds can use the remedy, with the dosage adjusted proportionally based on the bird's size.

Q2: How should the remedy be warmed before use?

Ans: Open the cap and place the bottle in a small pan of water heated at a medium temperature. Always test the product temperature before applying it internally or externally to avoid discomfort or burns to the bird.

Q3: How is the remedy used to treat colds and roup in individual birds?

Ans: Drip the warm solution into the bird's nostrils and place a few drops down the throat at night. Also, rub a warm remedy over the head and under the wings. For more severe roup, use a stronger solution: 1 teaspoon in 1/2 cup of hot water, and repeat the treatment 4 to 5 times daily.

Q4: Can the remedy be used for the entire flock at once?

Ans: Yes. A warm solution can be sprayed over as many birds as possible using a small sprayer kept in hot water. A few drops can also be added to the flock's drinking water each time it is changed, allowing birds to absorb the remedy through their beaks and nostrils.

Q5: How is the remedy used to treat eye worms?

Ans: Open the bird's mouth and tilt its head so the cleft in the roof of the mouth is visible. Dip a small cotton swab in warm remedy and press it into the cleft. Watch for the remedy to appear at each side of the beak and pus from the corners of the eyes. Remove the pus and allow the bird to rest; treatment may need to be repeated two to three times.

Q6: Can this remedy be used as a preventive measure?

Ans: Yes. Sprinkling a few drops into the coop litter every 4 to 5 days, adding a few drops to the drinking water each time it is changed, and rubbing 1 to 2 drops under the wings regularly all help prevent colds and roup from developing in the flock.

Q7: How is the remedy used for show bird conditioning?

Ans: Place a few drops of warm remedy under one wing before travel. After returning from shows, isolate birds from the flock for one week, wash their feet and heads with a warm solution, and rub a warm remedy on the head and under the wings. Rubbing it on the legs also brings out natural color and helps protect against mites and lice.

Q8: Are there any side effects associated with this remedy?

Ans: No harsh side effects or adverse reactions have been reported. The 100% natural formula contains no antibiotics or drugs, making it safe for use during breeding and show seasons across all poultry varieties when used as directed.

Q9: How long before results are seen?

Ans: Results can vary depending on the condition and severity. For eye worm treatment, the manufacturer notes that the treatment may need to be repeated 2 to 3 times before results are seen. If no improvement is observed within 48 hours, consult a licensed veterinarian.

Q10: How should the remedy be stored?

Ans: Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. The bottle comes with a safety seal and a dropper cap for convenient measuring. Keep out of reach of children and ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to preserve the natural formula.
