    Residual effect of permethrin?

    These pests were on my bird all the time. Well, until we bathed her they were anyway. Why would some of them hide in the chicken house? I read somewhere there is a residual effect but not for how long or why you then have to retreat.

    Residual effect of permethrin?

    Is there a residual effect of permethrin solution sprayed in chicken house? Will the spray keep on killing the mites/lice that may be hiding there? And for how long? Why would poulty mites hide in the coup? I thought they lived on the chicken. :/Is there also residual killing of mites/lice...

    Does anyone know about ivermectrin?

    What about giving ivermectrin drops by mouth(beak)? Is that the injectible kind? I'm confused.

    Ivermectin - how to use for worms and mites/lice

    Most humane way to kill 8 year old hen

    Quote: Thank you, allmypeeps. We are TREATING her and spoiling her even more. By the way countrybum, we had a 10 year old BO hen who died a couple years ago (we did NOT euthanize her) and she never did get arthritis or parasites. She also layed a couple eggs when she was 9 years old...

    Most humane way to kill 8 year old hen

    She is old, 8 years. We've oiled her legs for mites, dusted her for lice/mites, she eats and drinks well. She does not have bumble foot or any injury. She can still run across the yard for treats (berries, yogurt, rice). We're accomodating her in the coop with a step up to the roost. We're...

    Are these two both Buff Orps?

    Thank you gel 2727. Now I have an idea of what my 2 year old "BO" with yellow legs is too. These two little ones look like pullets to you right????

    Are these two both Buff Orps?

    They were the same size when I got them at a day or two old. Now white legged one is bigger with her tail sticking up. And little yellow legs is so much smaller. Are they two different breeds? I'm pretty sure they are both pullets. Right? Sold to me as Buff Orpingtons.

    Most humane way to kill 8 year old hen

    Thank you everyone for your advice. We have dusted all girls and cleaned out house, etc. For now, we'll see how she gets along and dust her every 7 to 10 days, other girls too if necessary. Not sure when I'm going to put the chicks in with the big girls yet. Chicks are 8 weeks old on Wed.

    Most humane way to kill 8 year old hen

    Someone said just put her in large plastic bag and she will go to sleep and suffocate. More or less humane than other suggestions? Vet put to sleep would be good but pretty sure spouse would not want to pay for it. If a vet around here would do it. Whenever I've called to ask about chicken...

    Most humane way to kill 8 year old hen

    What is the most humane way to put down a chicken (please don't say chop off head, can't do it). Our 8 year old is so slow and crippled that she attracks lice/mites to herself and I don't want them spreading to the other 2 aldult birds or the 2 seven week olds that will soon be going into that...
