i read in p/p mag that you can use herbs to help with colds and a few other things as anyone used herbs and had any success ? at the mo i am trying oregano but there was another one i think it was herban or something ,it sounds horrid but i cant really afford a bill for antiboitics for a few weeks and i am wary after the last lot i got as some of my girls were still sneezing for some time after but i would really like to try natural stuff to see just if it works or not of course i wont let the girls suffer and if they do need anything stronger then i will get it .

Bex, Would you be able to give a "use this herb for this ailment" list as from a personal opinion I would much rather use a natural remedy over an antibiotic (unless necessary obviously!) I have loads of baytril and Tylan should I ever have a seriously poorly chook but I would be intrigued to hear what you use
i would be interested as well 
a friend of mine works in medicine and there isnt anyhting she dont know and i asked her about it yesterday and she warned me of some herbs never to touch but said well most cough mixtures etc all have the herbs in them so we know they are good and work shame you cant get chickens to sniff albas oils as that really works for me :lol:
