I have been managing my MG outbreaks in my small closed chicken flock. I use Tylan powder in their drinking water when we have flare ups. I understand they will build a tolerance to this? I have read Chanca Piedra can heal this? Does anyone have experience using it? If so did it heal...

I can’t begin to express how frustrated I am at pre made chicken feeds ( pellets/crumbles). I’ve tried every feed out there over the past two years. Also my local feed store mash. I’m opting to make my own. I don’t want to, I’m finding it very scary and don’t want to hurt my chickens. They are...
