    three of my hens have canker. I’m going away on the tenth of August and I cannot leave it untreated.

    Thyme oil for canker

    I was searching up canker treatments and I found that you can use thyme extract. Apparently it works the same way as fish zole. Has anyone heard of this? Does this work?
