How much per gallon of water do I use to spritz my chickens with that have Fowl Pox? I was told I must use this to help them by a chicken expert

We use 1/4 cup per gallon of water but have not had a case of pox here (knock on wood). We spray the coops, the ground in the runs, and mist the birds themselves...right now we've had a few sneezes with the change of weather and the oxine is out and being used to make sure it is seasonal and not something a customer may have dragged to our farm from the local flea market.

I probably can't help as I use Oxine Ah for "thrush" a fungal infection in the central sulcus and collateral grooves of a horses hoof. I activate the Oxine AH. I use equal amounts of Oxine AH and White Vinegar than soak the horses hoof in the solution for 30 minutes. It kills fungal infection on contact. Maybe you could mix the same solution and apply to the affected areas of your chickens twice per day for 7 days? Use Oxine AH in a well ventilated area, do not breathe it in or get in mouth/mucus membranes/eyes. Only mix small amounts at a time as the solution is only good for up to 8 hours before it becomes ineffective. I hope I have been able to help somewhat!?!

I mix 3.25oz per gallon to disinfect coop and run, before I applied this to chickens I would go to Yahoo answers.com an expert will answer your question.

Rule of thumb is a gallon a day per person. I like to do a little more than that just to have extra for cooking and cleaning.

I use a 16 ounce glass bottle at 8 drops per 8 ounces of water for a total of 16 drops. For me that would be 128 drops per gallon of water. The bottle comes with a droper.

I've never used anything but this so I can't give you a comparative answer. I can tell you that I fill the water jug less than once weekly and clean the whole contraction once or twice a month. It's great. I have one for 6 chickens attached to a 2.5 gallon glass beverage dispenser. Make sure your dispenser had a lid that can be easily vented. I also have the igloo with the flip up spout which works great, but I like seeing the water level

I have 6 hens and it is plenty for them. This is also my first year with chickens. They don't all drink at the same time. I've had this for about 2-3 months now. I really like this system because you don't have worry about dirty or spilled water. Before, I was always cleaning & refilling.

Jay, Did you not read my response? I explained how to treat the acre; here's a copy and paste of the text below: "...for broadcast spraying, it says 1/2 to 1 oz per 1000 sq/ft of turf. That adds up to 22-44 oz per acre." I tool this off the label. Now I know you've been saying one is supposed to use 3 oz to a gallon of water but I couldn't find that rate anywhere. But what I did find is either 1/2 oz up to 1 oz per 1,000 when broadcast spraying so at most, you'd need around 44 oz per acre.Jonathan

YES. 1-2 ounces per gallon of water. This stuff is highly concentrated. So, you actually need to buy an empty gallon bottle and a spray bottle to use this solution.

I was informed by other growers using this item that it is very strong and should be used at a rate of 1/8 ounce to a gallon of water. This rate was given for growing Atlantic giant pumpkins. So if you used a full ounce it should make 8 gallons, I hope this helped you?

I would add no more than a capful per gallon of water in the tank for starters. Maybe 2 capfuls if you are dealing with strong animal urine orders, particularly cats.

I am not sure how fine birds need..but it does give a nice gentle mist..it would be good for chickens..

I use this product for my 19 chickens. The bag recommends 1/2 teaspoon per bird per day. For my chickens that equates about 2 oz or half a scoop per day. Every day I give my chickens a pint of homemade yogurt mixed with their commercial laying food then sprinkle the brewers yeast/garlic mix on top. They eat it all. Having had to deal with 2 flea infestations because of a cat and a dog, I would never assume they could be controlled with garlic. If it had only been that easy....

TIP: If you worried about steam from the water and the flavour, add a bottle of beer to the water, or if it is chicken some lemon juice or white wine. I personally would not pay this kind of money for this sort of product.

I dilute with water for foliar and root drenches. Not sure about dilution for a fogger but my 1st guess would be plain old water. If it was me, I would dilute with 3mls per gallon of water for a fogger. Same dilution rate I use for other methods. Verify and add 1 ml per gallon until desired effect is reached. Hope that helps a little.

You can use as much as 5mls per one gallon. Different uses call for different combinations of concentrate and water.

I have been using 1 to 2 ounces of concentrate per gallon of water. That seems to give me good coverage, and a gallon is enough to cover 4 small fruit trees, 12 blueberry bushes and 6 grape vines.

I use 1cap per gallon and I am happy with the results. Be sure to rinse well and dry. If you let it dry the spots are very hard to remove.
