Thanks! We actually don't have a PeavyMart here -- I live in Kelowna, so you'd think we have everything -- but it's surprising how few of this 'big name stores' we have! It's super unfair Lol. I haven't come across these products but I'll ask around! I asked a bit about Frontline Plus, and it...

Thanks :) I was really hoping this was something I would NEVER have to deal with! Ugh! I've heard that Frontline works? Same as the drops applied to dogs etc?

I am not sure I can get permethrin here -- I am in Canada. The feed stores don't have it. I'll check Home Depot. I did use some roll-on pyrethrin all over their fluffy bits as that was the only place I saw mites (around their vents and bellies etc). The fogger definitely worked -- I looked in...

Does anyone have any lesser known ways of getting rid of red mites? I've done everything that is commonly known, so now I need the stuff I've never heard of lol. This has only been going on for three days, the mites just seemed to appear out of nowhere! I noticed a couple of my girls had pale...

Ahh yes I wasn't referring to anything with antibiotics in the feed, just amprollium. The food regulations in Canada are much stricter than in the US and we are not allowed antibiotics in our feed. I have never/would never give my chickens any feed with antibiotics in it. I simply switched to...

I want to clarify something you said about medicated feed being banned; Most of the people in the US that I know still feed medicated feed. I can't find nay online sources confirming a ban on medicated feed. Is this a new development? And why would they ban medicated feed and not Corid, since...

I guess I won't worry about it then. I have a hose attachment that I can put anything in (I use it for solution to remove dog urine from the dog yard). I thought for sure they would have invented something by now that kills coccidia in whelping boxes that could also be used for chicken coops...

I will copy and paste what my question was in my OP, as it may have gotten lost when I went into detail about our situation. "Is there anything I can buy that I can put on a hose attachment to spray my yard with (something that won't kill the grass or harm the bees etc) that will kill the cocci...

Will the lime kill the grass and other plants in the yard? We are on 1/3rd of an acre. Is it hard to spread?

I live in Canada and sadly there were no two-day shipping options for me. I ordered from Amazon and it took several weeks.

I can't use Corid as they are already being treated with Baycox. Today is their last dosage and they won't need any more treatment after that. They get more probiotics from the Bio-K than the recipe has to offer so I think they will be fine without the probiotic mash. I don't feed my chickens...

My chicks/chickens were never on medicated feed UNTIL my flock came down with the issue. I have always fed organic or non-GMO feed. The little ones indoors were still on non-medicated feed (the other chicks I switched over when my flock got cocci but they were older, I wouldn't switch these ones...

I've been struggling with coccidia in my flock for about a month, and just wondering if there is something else I can do while treating my birds, and what I should buy to spray my yard with. I had a hen quickly perish a month ago, fecal revealed coccidia, and I was advised to treat my entire...

I'm not sure what is going on or what to do. I hatched around 30 chicks two days ago, and since then I've had four chicks develop prolapsed vents.. One died this morning. Three of the four are rumpless araucana. The fourth is an easter egger. I noticed the day they hatched that I had a lot of...
