We use essential oils for the entire family. I have a chick with some respiratory issues. Tomorrow I think I will dilute 1 drop of oregano with coconut oil and rub all over the birds feet. That's what I do for my kids. Love Doterra EO.
I always thought onions were poisonous to chickens?Whoa, a broken and ROTTEN egg... Nasty! Poor girl!
I would keep that one on a regular diet involving garlic to clean her blood in that case. Onion's good too. It supports their liver as well.
I'd just use the garlic bought at the shops, raw, I'd peel it and mince or crush it before feeding; you can usually get dried granulated garlic or minced garlic in tubs or bottles at feed bards/produce stores/wherever you get pet or livestock supplies, same with the kelp. Don't know where you'd get that in America as I'm an Australian, but I don't know where you are... The kelp comes granulated or powdered and you can also get that in health food shops but it's cheaper to get it in animal feed stores, granulated. It costs $6 a kilo here and a kilo lasts a very long time.
Best wishes. Good to hear your hen's doing better. She will probably need some TLC to maintain that though. Kelp is an endocrinal regulator, so will get her hormones working as they should, which is important in all things not just egg laying. Our entire bodies run on hormones, whereas common facts passed around usually make it sound like hormones are only relevant to the sexual organs, and growing.
