    How long do hens stay broody?

    Mites!!! Yuck! Question.....

    I love a product called poultry protector. I get it from first state vet supply. Dr Peter brown is an expert in poultry and will always take the time to help if you have any questions. He has a website too. Poultry protector is non toxic so it won't hurt you the environment or the birds.
