Ugh.
A few weeks ago I made a big mistake. Grabbed the Sevin dust can instead of the Poultry Dust and sprinkled a copious amount of it on a broody and the nesting box because I saw mites crawling all over. I was in a rush b/c she was brooding in with broody guineas and those ladies are vicious...so, I seized the opportunity to dust when they had left stall, but in my haste, grabbed the wrong thing...(why do the containers have to be the same size/dimensions?!??!?)
I pretty sure that until very recently, 5% carbaryl was still ok'd in Canada for poultry, though Sevin is banned in the US for poultry use. (I am in the US, but was figuring if the main ingredient was still approved for our northern neighbors, maybe I'd be ok)
She's the best broody ever and my favorite lady. I have a flock of 20-something chickens, so when she starts laying again, I will not be able to figure out which are her eggs to toss.
Do I have to cull her? Will this one goof be ok? She's my baby
