I don’t know the exact kind, because i haven’t had to buy it I a while, but it’s some kind of purple stuff. It helps with all kinds of chicken issues

i don’t know the exact brand, its been a few years since we’ve had any emergency where we’ve had to use it. But it helps with everything chicken related! feather loss, severe injury, injury, pasty butt, and even if you just want to dye your chickens feathers purple (this is a joke but the medicine does stain feathers 😁)
Oh? I did not mean to reply twice- I had a message going about to send last night and forgot about it- guess I did send it…
