Curious to know if this treatment worked? I had a hen get attacked by a hawk and had her in our garage recovering. Noticed them crawling on my arm after caring for her. Now I’m terrified of my house being infested.

It’s rarely above 30 here too! And lucky to get a day with sun...

These poor chickens! Wish their moults would happen at a better time...

Thank you! I will look into switching their feed. I always offer free choice oyster shells and actually gave them some scrambled eggs and cranberries the other day. I did make them mash when they were younger and they loved it, maybe I’ll get back to that?

Yay! :thumbsup

Yes! I believe that’s what they were listed as at the farm store.
