I read on here that some use spray canola oil on their legs too! I soaked my girls legs/feet 5 mins each time x 8 weeks and the mites are now gone. Now I just use vaseline but I also coated their legs/feet twice with NuStock! :) See "before" and "now" pics...big diff but boy it takes time to...

NOT TO WORRY! Nobody died...lol! Just didn't see it coming that's all! I'll start a new thread where I can keep it below 2,000 words AND post pics to illustrate what I'm talking about! I still think BYC is an eggcelent site and I couldn't have made it this far without it! :love

Could have but it was under "preventing your run from getting muddy" and was sent via email today with a few other super interesting topics too! :)

Yeah! That's what they do on Twitter. When you go over, it turns into a color so you have to stop right then, go back and "cut the fat"....lol!

I don't know what a "convo" is but I'd love to know the letter limits for REPLY or COMMENTS on here. I've posted tons of stuff and that was the 1st time that happened...thanks! :)

THAT'S SO COOL I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT! I created a desk top shortcut to the link you sent me so I can use it all the time AND when the #'s is just right, copy and paste it into whatever space it belongs!!! :clap

Holy chicken feathers, Batman! I had no idea something like this existed! You can bet your money I'm going to use this site - and I mean a lot! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS LINK!!! See, I told you this site is eggcelent! :goodpost::wee:thumbsup :yesss:

Thanks EggSighted4Life! Oh my gosh...what a handle! Mine is so boooorrring!!! I would love to use something else, but I guess it's too late now! The character limitations remind me of twitter - but worse...lol! But it's not a deal-breaker for me. This site is so helpful to us newbies! Just...

Please keep in mind this was NOT a new posting or new thread. It was under the articles appearing about "keeping chicken runs dry".....and also I was saddened to not being able to post photos of my covered run, but the word limitation is fine if you tell us BEFORE we write our comments. :) thanks!

As much as I LOVE this site, I really think it would be a lot better if you would tell those of us who want to post "comments" on certain subjects here, that we have a WORD LIMITATION before we spend 20 mins putting something together only to find out when we hit "post" that it is too long...

Hey there...it's me again...the fairly new "mother hen" to all of this. It seems you are getting an overload of information on here and I don't want to add do it but I gave my girls well-done, scrambled eggs with shredded sharp cheddar cheese in it and some fresh chopped garlic. Garlic is...

OMG....you are doing more for her than anything I've heard of before! I'm very impressed but I can't help you with regard to the Rx. I only held Abby's legs and feet in a coffee can filled to the top with Canola & olive oil for 5 mins x 8 times (once a week), then did the NuStock (you can use...

No chicken expert here, but when we got our 2 hens in 2016, one had a long, pointy, weird looking thing sticking out the side of her leg. We didn't know anything about mites, etc., then but when I saw her legs getting covered in crusty looking stuff I quickly researched it and found out to my...

Great article and the pics are excellent too! We have two Barred Rock hens and they are living "the life!" They have a 2-story, coop, a 14-foot run which I convert into a sun tunnel every fall and a large, wooded area called the "cove" to free roam in at their immediate disposal 24/7! It's...
