Guest guest Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello everyone, We are venturing into raising chickens and I am a bit concerned about the issue of ticks and Lyme Disease. If the chickens eat " all the ticks " , that's great. But should we be concerned about the spirochetes then being in the eggs and/or meat? Not something I want to be worried about when I'm eating those healthy eggs. Thank you, Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello, Yours sounds like a reasonable concern. Have you thought about using the Salt/C protocol on the chickens? It is supposed to work on animals, too. Just figure out how much salt to give them; maybe a pinch or two a day? As for Vitamin C, check and see how much the animal makes itself. You may need to supplement it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Theresa, We have 23 chickens which roam free in the yard and in the field behind us. I have thought of this as well, but figured since the eggs and chicken is cooked, the spiros are destroyed. I believe what we need to find out is at what temperature are spiros destroyed. > > Hello everyone, > We are venturing into raising chickens and I am a bit concerned about the issue of ticks and Lyme Disease.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi , Did you catch the link I posted about a veterinarian with 20 years of experience said ticks pass the disease on by biting and sucking, not so if eaten by a chicken... Also, cooking should kill off any spirochetes... I eat a lot of chicken, I am not worried...
