I love listening to The Age of Persuasion. It’s a CBC Radio 1 show that came to podcast last year. Terry O’Reilly’s voice makes doing the dishes a little more tolerable.

Comment on Monday’s Guests – D-I-Y vs B-U-Y Dishwashing Detergent by renee

Baking soda might need to be traded out for washing soda, depending on what type water you have. Also, adding a cup and a half of vinegar with the rinse cycle helps, but adds a step to the process and isn’t easy to keep up with.
We also use 7th Generation, but I’ll do a few loads in between with baking soda/borax/vinegar to soften the store bought product impact.

I love these remedy stories! I mean, I’m sorry that your chickens were sick, but it is fascinating to read about treating them with totally natural methods.

I had a hen die with a huge crop. I didn’t know at the time that there was a treatment for it. Good to know for next Time.

Awesome tip. The turning the hen upside down to squeeze it out has always scared the bejeezus out of me. Glad to know of an alternative if we ever come across that problem.

We had a hen that used to get a very compacted crop every so often. At the time, our hens got lots of grass and I think this particular hen had a hard time with it. We used to give her a plate of feed (grains & seeds) doused in olive oil. It seemed to help break everything up and aid her in emptying her crop.
