Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lehman's Poultry Doctor: A Treatise on Poultry Diseases, Written in Plain Language for the Farmer and Poultry Raiser
Grit, in form of gravel, broken stone or even dishes, oyster shells, old plaster, etc., must also be supplied. Why? Because such are used as millstones or grinders between the strong, muscular walls of the stomach, and render the food capable of being digested and assimilated. Green food, as well as a variety of grains, are also essential.
Medicine is usually administered in the food or drinking water, but may occasionally be made into a ball or pill and introduced back into the throat, or it may be given in a small amount of water, poured slowly out of a spoon or small bottle.
Medicine is usually prescribed in grains, drops, drams or ounces, and, occasionally, pounds.
