How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Kalu]

Morning,

 

Does anyone else feel like they are forever scooping?

 

Into the girls food goes:

 

1 scoop of poultry spice

1 scoop of garlic powder

1 scoop of bokashi bran

1 scoop of diatom

 

In the girls water goes:

 

1 scoop of apple cider vinegar

 

Into the cut up milk bottle goes:

 

100 scoops of poo

 

Into the washing machine goes:

 

1 scoop of powder

1 scoop of speed it up powder

1 scoop of conditioner!

 

 

Argh!!! Think you get my point, am I scooping too much?

A point well made!

[Falkor]

This is SO true!

 

I can add to that list a scoop of Dishwasher powder!

 

And don`t you always find that you inevitibly get something you scoop on your hands and when you go to eat your toast and marmalade you get a soapy garlicy aroma and taste

[Griffin]

I've just ditched layers pellets and am making the girls food from scratch. It's time consuming! So I can add a few more scoops to your list

[Busybird]

Do you mind me asking why you have started making layers pellets from scratch

[Steph101]

Yes, I'd like to know why too...

[Griffin]

I'm not making pellets, I'm using other feed in it's place. I was struggling to get the right balance that suited all of my flock. I have three meat boys free ranging with the rest of the flock. I've tried a number of supplements to help Valeries laying problems to no avail. So I wanted to try feed other than layers pellets and we're on our first week of something new. A combination of wheat, maize and rolled barley with a dollop of cod liver oil plus the usual bokashi bran. I'll give it a month or so and see how they do. The Brahma chicks think they've died and gone to heaven but the rest of the rabble have given a mixed response so far.

 

Another reason is that my dogs are fed on the BARF diet (bones and raw food) and I like to know exactly what has gone into them. I'm trying the same approach to the chooks feed to see if I get similar good results.

[Eggquisite]

yes sounds familiar..

 

Can I ask what the Apple Cider Vinegar does for the water? Fairly new chuck

owner & I've not come across this before?

 

 

 

[The Dogmother]

It's generally beneficial healthwise, but also deters intestinal parasites like worms.

 

Mine always have a splash in their water.

[Eggquisite]

Thanks Claret.. I'll be adding some Apple Cider vinegar from now on, sounds like a

good practice to me... another scoop to add to our list

[Falkor]

FYI don`t use supermarket ACV - it should be the unrefined one which you can get from most horsey shops

[The Dogmother]

Be sure to get the live one though - made for horses, not the pasteurised one from supermarkets. I use this 'un

 

A teaspoonful in some warm water whe you rinse your hair makes it lovely and shiny too

Thanks both,, that was lucky I was almost running down the garden with our Apple Cider vinegar

from the kitchen

 

We're off for a trip tomorrow to the Malvern Three Counties show.. will see if there is some there if not will check out on online

 

Thanks again

[jomaxsmith]

I make up a weeks' worth of mash in a lidded nappy bucket so get all my little scoops done once a week, then it's only a big scoop or two to fill the grub each day

 

Jo

[The Dogmother]

I do that too Jo - I have alarge, lidded container that I mix it all up in.

[Space Chick]

I've been using shop bought Apple Cider Vinegar - should I stop

 

I'm worried now.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I don't think it'll harm them, Debs, but the unrefined kind will be much cheaper .

[Space Chick]

Phew, thank goodness for that.
