    Elector PSP?

    I only recently found out my chickens have scaly leg mites and this is my first time dealing with it. I was getting conflicting info on whether Elector PSP was effective for scaly leg mites when I asked Chatgpt but people are saying it worked for them. I wish I had tried Elector PSP first as a...

    Do these look like red mites on the door?

    I had sprayed that door with permethrin a few weeks ago so maybe dead red mites? I washed the door with warm soap and water and sprayed it with Elector PSP just in case since I had some I already made today.

    Do these look like red mites on the door?

    I saw red dots all over the chicken coop door. They're not moving though, even when I squished one.

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    So I was finally able to weigh him. He's about 10 pounds. I soaked his feet this morning and saw that his belly is red and raw. And I think he has both northern fowl mites and red mites. They were gray and brownish red and I think they were moving too slow to be lice. I only saw these on him. I...

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    From that article, it does look like they most likely had lice. I checked them last week and didn't see any. What would you recommend cleaning the coop with for scaly leg mites? I'm reading that they live on the legs so Elector PSP and Permethrin aren't going to kill them. I'm unable to wash...

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    @Wyorp Rock I actually have some sulphur I bought a few years ago the last time they had mites. I think I'll mix some of that with Vaseline or mineral oil and apply it to all of their feet. I'm also reading that I should treat their coop and the yard. Would I use Permethrin or can I use neem oil ?

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    I found mite eggs on one of the hen's vents and mites on another hen's vent. I washed those hen's bums with soap and water and sprayed everyone with Permethrin and cleaned the coop and sprayed their coop and my yard with permethrin. I checked them on Tuesday when I sprayed everything with neem...

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    I'll try and catch him later to weigh him and take pics of the bottom of his feet. Would I have to separate him or treat everyone? Should I try Ivermectin since they had mites?

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    Should I limit his feed? I leave it out for free choice but I wouldn't know how much he should be eating. I do let them free range too.

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    I give them the Dumor 17% all flock feed and leave it out all day. Here he is at 5 months old. He was sick when he was a few weeks old and had trouble standing so I gave him poultry cell for a few months. Not sure if that's what fattened him up or if he's just naturally fat.

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    He's a Rhode Island Red. He seems to be walking fine otherwise. I'd have to check under his feet next time they're sleepy. He's always been a big boy. Maybe we've been giving them too many treats lately since we've been eating watermelon and giving them the peels on top of their treats of...

    Do my rooster's feet look normal?

    I don't pay much attention to their feet but I have noticed that my rooster has been sleeping on the floor at least for the last 2-3 weeks instead of roosting with everyone else. He's acting normal otherwise. I thought he was just old or heavy. He's a little over 4 years old and probably weighs...

    Elector PSP?

    My chickens panic too when I pick them up so I spray them at the crack of dawn when they're still sleepy and can't resist as much. If you don't have anybody to help you and if you have a separate area, you could keep the sprayed chickens in the clean area and then spray the rest the next day...

    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    Any updates on this? I'm battling mites too and have Elector PSP on the way but I've never used it before. Reading that you got more mites after using it is concerning to me.

    Anyone tried a handheld steamer to get rid of mites in a coop?

    Okay, I'll follow up in a few weeks. Yep, I was thinking of steaming and then spraying with Permethrin. I have Elector PSP coming so I may try that too if the mites come back.
