Benzyle Benzoate is now unfortunately banned, but not all is doom and gloom, you can still get the alternative from horse stores and equestrian outlets as they use it for sweetitch, it contains BB but it's just not allowed to be called that anymore. (Bloomin EU!) It's still the best thing for scaley leg, and it doesn't hurt the birds to use it, if you find scaley leg and don't have anything containing BB or have trouble getting it, you can always use Imperial Leather talc mixed with vaseline, this brand of talc has a small quantity of BB in it, so works until you can get some of the good stuff!

Use plastic water containers with ACV as it causes rust on enamalled ones, and oxidises galvenised ones!
Proberbly one of the main things to keep around!
