Leicester_H Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi Nettex Poultry Nutri Drops - Fast Acting - seem to be highly rated so am thinking of getting some as a standby. Just wondered what the shelf life is ? (I assume its quite long ??) If you've got some, could you look at the use by date please (and add on how long you've had them for please ) Thanks, as always, H PS - they say to feed directly in to birds mouth - do you do this ? I have always administered medicines on a small cube of bread (or whatever) as I worry about stress (me and the bird !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 These are a great standby, and have saved the life of at least two of my Girls (and one of those more than once). I normally put them directly in the mouth, usually from the side/ Sometimes, if the chook struggles and it's difficult, I take a different approach: rather than trying to wrestle with the bird, I wait until the bird is calm then I squeeze a small amount on top of the beak. It then rolls down, and when it it hanging as a droplet, the chook senses it and sort of sucks it up. This does take a long time to dispense the right amount this way.

The Dogmother Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I haven't worried about use by dates... my bottle must be a couple of years old at least! Mine seem to like the taste, so I don't have a problem administering them. Amazing stuff, as WH has said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
