About this episode
Welcome to The Poultry Keepers Podcast! In this first installment of our four-part Poultry Health Master Class series, Carey Blackmon and Jeff Mattocks dive deep into the most common poultry health issues—and how to manage them naturally and effectively.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to identify and treat:
- Dry vs. Wet Fowl Pox — what they look like and how they spread
- Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) and what signs to watch for
- CRD (Mycoplasma) and other respiratory illnesses: prevention and biosecurity
- Fowl Cholera and other look-alike respiratory conditions
- The right use of natural remedies like garlic tincture, oregano, and CEG (Cayenne + Echinacea + Garlic)
- Smart management tips for small-flock health, mosquito control, and maintaining strong immune systems
This is the must-hear foundation for anyone who wants to raise healthier birds without relying heavily on antibiotics. Tune in as Carey and Jeff share real-world insights, field-tested remedies, and practical prevention strategies every small-flock keeper can use.
