someone was asking about this on another list. I have a lot of this, but I don't think it sounds like a good idea.

I used to use wood ashes out in their run for them to dust bathe in. It worked as far as keeping them mite and lice free.

I'd still use it if we had room for a woodstove.


Hope this helps!

Yes, wood ash from wood burning stoves. Only wood burning tho no plastics or paper added. Good for them to dust in to help keep the buggies away.

We always take a bucket or two out to the runs after they have cooled for the chickens to dust in during woodstove burning season.
 
What a great thing to learn here! We use a firplace all winter and have ashes up to our ashes!

Thanks!
