That helped me a lot thank you... that made me realize now that she has scaley leg mites and as I was doing my research on that I found out another problem that one of my chickens has is bumble foot? What is that? And scaley leg mites how do I treat that? I read up vaseline does the trick...
Oh my gosh! 30 DAYS?? Are you kidding me??? I was thinking after the 10 days were up I could dust her once more and she would be alright. I put her in a cardboard box and this morning when I went to let her out I could see there was dead lice in the box. 30 days though?? Really????
