RE: Homestead Update
I realized that about the Gatorade. I could have done a better job sourcing electrolytes. Especially since it was a zero sugar kind that Melissa was trying out. Ick!
How is it that raw milk is so SO useful and beneficial, and so hard for so many people to get? I'm going to do a 1:10 with the whey as a foliar spray now. I bet the trees will love it.

You can try Pedialite, which is unflavored and uncolored since it's made for young children, or make a homemade electrolyte solution from:
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
8 Tbsp. honey
1 gallon warm water
I haven't been online much in the last couple of days, so I missed your original post about the chickens being sick. I'm so sorry!
Love this homemade solution @goat-girlz. I usually add an antioxidant which we have for all our animals (not sure if you get such a thing on your side of the pond) And totally in agreement with @nateonsteemit for ACV and that good dose of garlic! Fabulous natural immune boosters and probiotics for super chickens!
@buckaroo! You're alive! :D
How's things?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Very much so. Just prefering silence in cyber world ;) Although I pop out an occasional post
Not sure the whey will work on the mildew, as I suspect it's the other components of milk that do the work. But you will have to let me know, if it does! My whey goes to the chickens....
