eggalp Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I think, because its very bitter, that if you use too much they won't drink it. I think the dosage is just 2 drops per litre - but im sure someone will tell us if i am wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CluckyBucks Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hello You use 1 or 2 drops per litre. I always use citricidal in my girl's drink because apparently it helps their immune systems. It is suitable for human use so it wont do any damage to your chickens i dont think. Hope this helps xx xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-sarahjayne Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I also use 2 drops per litre, I only use this to cure sniffles though (Its very good at that) so I couldnt comment on it as an everyday tonic. I use poultry tonic for an everyday tonic which is great. I think you can use it for as long as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Thanks everyone I ended up putting 4 drops in the glug (put a 2 liter bottle of water in) I'm only using it as one of my girls is sneezing & coughing (guessing it's a cold?)

sandyhas3chucks Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 well folks I bought mine from Omlet the directions say 4-12 drops in a full glass of water 1-3 times a day and kids half that dose. sooooo. I assumed a glass approx half a pint... soooo put 12 drops in approx 2.5 litres of water. Mine drink this no problem, & as the Johnsons anti peck spray (very bitter never bothered them or stopped them, then thought the bitter wouldn't e a problem! Just to add that I do put it in daily to 2 coop cups, as I have one with dammaged air sacs. The other "main water" container has Orego Stim in it!
