Two nights ago I was watching my broody hen on the hen cam and noticed a mosquito walking around her neck. I don't know if they itch if a mosquito bites them like we do but she is scratching her neck around quite a bit. Yesterday I used essential oils (lemongrass, citronella and lemon with water and log hrly sprayed the inside of the coop. I did not spray the nesting box mu broody was sitting in. While spraying a handful of mosquitoes came flying out.
I would love to spray with permethrin but have concerns with the broody. Should I or not spray and does anyone have any ideas on what I could do that's natural and won't affect my girl. Or do I just leave as is for now.
