Thank you so much. You've opened up my eyes. This is such valuaby information. A lot of vets don't have information about birds, so your videos help a lot.
Thanks Phil good advice....I’ve started to give my flock fermented feed and yogurt regularly and ensured that their coop is kept clean. I also found using Kombucha in their water every day in fresh water ...cheaper than apple cider vinegar and easy to make. Kefir yogurt is also very good. If anyone knows if sodium bicarbonate would help........
You suggested apple cider vinegar and garlic in the water. Is there a specific concentration? And what form of garlic do you use? Also, is this safe for ducks? I have two ducks in with my hens so I need to make sure that any treatments I use on the hens won't hurt the ducks either.
Thank you Phil for making this video. My sweet bird Ruthie seems to be experiencing an impacted crop. If you have good advice for a natural remedy, I would appreciate it! Michael
Thank you this was very helpful i watched so many videos this sounds like what my girl has i do what I can to keep them healthy but stuff happens I'm going to clean her bottom and give her Apple cider vinegar and garlic see if that helps when she feels better and looks better i will give her yogurt.

Me too! I gave mine a whole cabbage and one got messy bottom. I wonder if sourkraut would help them...
Thanks for this video. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Phil, would you mind telling me the ratio of vinegar to H2O and also how much garlic to feed? Thank you so much.
It may vary depending on which brand you purchase as to what they advise, but as a guide we usually recommend about 20ml per litre of water

Fortunately I have not seen this condition thus far. This winter I will look for it. Thank you for the head's up.
Thanks Phill very informative
Thank you so much. How can one disinfect a run that’s a bit mucky ?
No problem at all! I'd recommend checking out Ask Phill 7 - How to Keep Your Chicken Run Clean if you haven't already :)
Suggestion: Don't use vinegar in a galvanized water can. Your birds can get metal poisoning from the chemical reaction and your can will rust.
Great information, now to catch the bird!!!!
2 tablespoons of ACV in 1 gallon of water took care of my chickens loose stools in one day!
Hi Phil just found you thanks for your advice one of my girls has pasty bottom

Okay, so I got to get the mud out the run and treat my girls.
Very informative! Chicken Genius! I have a pet chicken and I don't wan't nothing to affect my chicken.
Can you put straw down on muddy areas
No, GMO soya and will autorepair. Try it.
Moldy bread???? Bad??
Yes, very bad!
If I can't eat it safely, then I don't feed it to my hens.
