That NJ is a pullet. Did any others hatch?
I will be- haven't ever done it but vinegar will not hurt the chickens but it repels mites, lice, etc (thank the good Lord I haven't had any bird lice) and all the herbs are harmless- I use them on my family and most of the herbs the chickens love to eat anyway (especially basil) I came up with it rather than buying the overpriced, watered down "protector sprays" I figure you can do enough research and usually find a natural non-toxic solution to about anything.
for those that are wondering about my concoction.......
1 Gallon White distilled vinegar
spearmint cuttings (about 4-5)
Basil cutting (4-5)
citronella leaves (10 or so)
3 oranges peeled- use only the peels
20-30 drops of tea tree oil
15-20 drops of peppermint
let it set together for 2 days (longer if you want- I figure 2 days will get it to the point I need it)
I will let you all know how it goes... for your info I had bought the mannapro poultry protector at tractor supply and had a mite on my hand- I sprayed it with the poultry protector and it slowed it down for about 3 minutes and then it was back to crawling all around. Big waste of money!
I've heard of chickens brooding duck eggs. Is it ok to let a duck brood chicken eggs?
