I have been hatching ducks for two years now, but I haven't been incubating and have really just bought fertilised eggs and placed them under my broody ducks. I would like to start incubating so that I am able to take advantage of imprinting (and I am aware of how that sounds) so that my ducks...

Usually, we can avoid lice infections, as our poultry bury themselves in wormwood, a natural repellent. But now that it is summer, the wormwood has lost its leaves, so they have no protection from infection. If we use the lice treatment on our chickens, they're fine, but if we spray our ducks...
