"Chicken Aid Box" - Must Have - Part 2
These are products I always keep on hand, just from my personal experience.

(Also note that I only use these medicines if needed. I try to keep my flock as natural as possible. I feed them unmedicated food since hatch, and I don't vacmxcinat3 them, nor do I use m3dicines unless they need it, just a personal preference.) (With this, I am not saying I won't ever vacxinat3 them; so far, I haven't encountered major illness issues apart from coccidiosis and some colds, touch wood)

I'm always eager to learn more, as the chicken world is a never-ending learning experience! Please share your tips on this thread if you have some. Thank you!🐔📚

Treatment for coccidiosis.
There are 2 forms of treatments, as far as I know, and what I have tried and works for me.
I am not a big fan of talking in videos. 😁 I am a bit shy and I think I suck at it anyway.
I thought it would be handy to share this though. I hope it can be useful for some of you. ❤️

:( This La fleche boy is becoming aggressive.
Darling I just wanna be your friend 🧡
After a rain event weeks ago the growers La fleche Team became sick. They were dying so I decided to put them on a tall cage and try to save them (they will go back on the ground soon) Lucky me I save 2 boys and I still have my old hen from my original team, after moving on the others.
I love this breed so much, I wish more people were interested in breeding them.

🥚 Free egg buffet!
I leave them always in the same spot. My dogs have free access to eggs whenever they feel like it.
They eat them around the yard; chickens and ducks eat some of the shells, and nature does the rest.
I do either this, or I boil them, mash them, and feed them back to them.
No eggs or shells are wasted.
