According to most sources, it's 1-2 teaspoons of oil per quart of water plus a a half teaspoon of dish soap to emulsify.
I assure you that neither I nor anyone else offering you advice was being derogatory or sarcastic.
I personally, am offering advice based on 20 years of experience and months of research. I tried doing everything naturally at first as that how I was raised. It rarely was effective.
If there was natural ways to cure something, we certainly would tell you, but not everything can and some homeopathic remedies can harmful if not deadly to chickens.
When people kept chickens before modern practices, and even more recently then that, unless they were particularly good roosters or brooding hens, females were were raised until about 18 months to 2 years then processed and eaten. Cocks had lifespans of a few months.
Very few people gave a second thought to their care aside from protection from predators, they were were easy to grow livestock as they'd eat whatever the other animals left. They rarely received any type of treatment and most of those treatments, natural or otherwise, would make your hair stand on end.
This is awesomeI just took a very close look at my Orpington and the lice seem to be gone though she still has lots of egg sac deposits on the bases of her butt feathers. I’ve covered these in coconut oil w/clove EO mixed in. But I’m wondering since I don’t see any active lice any longer if it would be prudent just to clip these feathers off? Or is cutting feathers bad?
Just did another full coop clean today and added more lime & wood ash to their run. I’m hopeful!This is awesome
Sounds like you’re on a roll, so I won't interject too much, but What brand of EO's are you using?
Thank you!According to most sources, it's 1-2 teaspoons of oil per quart of water plus a a half teaspoon of dish soap to emulsify.
mix the soap in first.
Or 1-2 tablespoons of neem per gallon of water plus a teaspoon of soap.
That is an excellent brand. We were gifted a few this last Christmas and are happy with the.Just did another full coop clean today and added more lime & wood ash to their run. I’m hopeful!
Most of the oils I have are organic Aura Cacia. Do you have a brand you recommend? I’ve used this brand for many years.
just wondered if you ever found the link for this sprayer. If not, maybe post a picture?I have a cute little handheld pressurized pump I used for neem oil. I'll post the link if I can find it. I use it to spray down the coop periodically for mite prevention.
I'm not certain this is the exact one, but it looks like this!just wondered if you ever found the link for this sprayer. If not, maybe post a picture?
