    I’m not sure if these are mites? What to do and can it affect my other animals.

    Thank you!!!!! That is extremely helpful good to know! Thankfully the coop is in the middle of a fenced off run that the cat cannot get into so it’s all good but I will be extra careful when transporting it to and from the barn and coop! Thank you so much!

    Ok. Thank you! I scooped and swept the coop all out before I blew it, I just used the leaf blower for the leftovers and cob webs etc. I sprayed the entire coop and all the birds yesterday. I’m going out of town for over a week so unfortunately it will be a little over seven days 😬

    @nuthatched so I’m currently gutting the coop, and I’m about to leaf blow it all out, and then spray it, but my question is, do I have to spray up the walls or on the ceiling at all? And what about the run? And do I have to spray evwry square inch of the floor? There is a bit of bedding in the...

    Ok quick question I hadn’t thought of. When treating for mites and using the solution, can we still eat their eggs? I’m just concerned about that since we sell them all

    This is what I picked up. Do I literally just spray the chickens and ducks down? Like how do I apply it? I was thinking of herding them all into a sepwrate pen, and one by one grabbing them and spraying them down and setting them in another one. Do I have to pull back the feathers to spray...

    @nuthatched what should I do about the ducks? Can I put the permethrine on them as well? I’m leaning towards the spray for them if they need it and dust for the chickens

    Here’s a few pictures of the little sucker. And another question, could this affect my dogs and cats? I have a barn cat that also comes in the house and a farm dog that does chores with me

I have a nice big run and have a duck side that I have a big pool in and everything, and then a chicken side with dust baths and a few treat dispensing toys etc. they all live together in the same...
