The PRID is amazing! Our hen has had bumblefoot on and off forever. She is just prone to it. None of the other hens have it. I even gave her prednisone for a bit trying to clear up whatever immune system problem she was having. The bumblefoot comes back. But the PRID works a real charm. And...

The chickens are back in their coop tonight. Though seriously confused with the new pain job. I need to move the water as I have just seen the Roosters is positioned perfectly over it. But I like the hanging roosts. No places touching the walls. And it was fun using the flame thrower in the...

I use Baristol Animal oil on the birds themselves. I put it in a spray bottle. The idea is the same as the Vaseline to suffocate them. I am going to use caulking in the cracks. More long term and less smeary.

Fire and German ingenuity. Weeds and roosts done.

So the coop is painted and I still am baffled at how to put in roosts tgat avoid my original problem. He is a photo I am open to suggestions. The best box area is at the back. There is enough room for 8 birds (on my old roosting system).

I feel you This was my last summer. The mites crawling on me was the thing that pushed me over the edge. I bought Mite bombs ( like flea bombs). The red mites have ea life cycle like fleas, eggs, mites more eggs millions of mites millions of eggs=dead chicken. So you have to keep at it for a...

I bought this from the feed store In the Eu it’s hard to get chemicals for “hobby” farmers. this is what I bought

Thank you! Yes all things in our coop are removable. The biggest hiding place has been the roost holder on the wall. So now that there is a fresh coat of paint tomorrow I will caulk all the cracks and buy double sided tape. I got some horse spray which is organic and uses no chemicals. My...

Ahh finally the blow torch 🔥 Yes! I am hot on your heals and want some double sided tape! We have no insulation but I have been getting straw from my farmer. I am pretty sure the mites were free🤪 I have new paint and new hens. Last solution is caulking and those roosting bars. I like your...

Now it is not so bad but ehy are all molting so it's a combined bad time all around. I will see what I can find at the Feed Store for horses and spray the hens and dust them again every other day once the hosue is remodeled.

Great tips! Thank you. I am in Germany. But honestly, this has been an issue since last year the whole season.I think it started with a hen that we got as a gift. Yes, a whole year of this terror. We lost 2 chickens along the way. I thought I had it under control then....sad. I have also wormed...

Hi I have been fighting these terrible things RED MITES 100% for over a year. Renovating the coop will help lower places where the mites can hide during the day. The current issue is they hide up against the wall where the roost are attached. I find them there in piles that fall out of the...

We are rebuilding and fighting a retched infestation of mites. They hide at the end of the roost bars (in under and at the ends where it attaches to the wall). I would love tips, photos or links of your roost bars that inhibit these rotten bloodsuckers. We need a new plan. I am Painting and...

I would suggest Valbazen. Its a gentle-Dewormer and all rounder. So it is likely to get and deal with any worms she is having. Valbazen Cattle Broad Spectrum Dewormer Liquid You can get it at the FeedStore or order it on line. Get a SMALL bottle. The normal dose for a normal size chicken is...

Hows your lady doing? ? Sounds like it could be crop worms. Have you checked her droppings? Might be time to worm her. Hope she is better.

Hi thanks for asking. I got 2 different types of drawing salve. The US brand and a European version. I didn't try the potato. The biggest problem is the depth of the hole in her foot. It is directly in the middle of her foot. I dug out most of the bad stuff then packed it with the salve for 4...

have you given her a DeWormer? I suggest scrambled eggs and plain clear water. If she is going to eat and be thirsty those basics will help her get through. Our favourite hen died (April) and since then all of our other hens have developed worms. I was sad to lose her but think she was the one...

I live in Germany where I can not get PRID drawing salve. I am sure there is something but i have not found it yet. I soaked the hen's foot and the opened the scab with a razor and dug out as much as I could. The hole is very deep and I never got to pus or blood. I then filled the hole with...
