We have a free e-book on chicken diseases and how to treat them using natural remedies. See what the book contains from the words of the author below:

HOW TO USE THIS COMPENDIUM FOR YOUR SICK CHICKENS

"A compendium is a summary of a larger work or field of knowledge." The field of knowledge on alternative or traditional remedies for livestock is vast and complex. It covers herbal treatments, homeopathy, better chicken management, nutrition, acupuncture, massage among others for sick chickens and chicken diseases.

This compendium of laying hen problems is a working manual for the natural management and treatment of common and not so common chicken diseases, illness or problems that you may encounter in the raising of the laying chicken. It includes the diseases, parasites, and problems I encountered in my research on the natural rearing of chickens.

Unfortunately in is neither exhaustive nor complete. In gleaning information from many different sources I often found no alternative remedies for certain diseases. These sections are left blank in order to provide you with a place for notes, references, or your own creative remedies as you develop or discover them. This manual is a work in progress for all of us. We all, as managers of organic laying flocks, have something to contribute to the development of progressive ways to prevent and treat what ails the hen.

The compendium is set up for quick reference and note taking. Keep it in the barn and keep track of other preventative measures or treatments you have tried. When I was able to find it I included information in the following categories. The remedies are recorded verbatim from the references so may sometimes seem vague. I am leaving some interpretation to the reader. When I found nothing I left it blank for you to fill in as your experience and knowledge grows."
