    Adams Shampoo Dosage

    Something I didn't think to mention - we don't have warm days here until May. We've had snow in May. Last night a friend reported -8F. The high for today is supposed to be around 29F with a low of 9F tonight. Maybe I'd be better off to wash the chickens in Dawn (and mineral oil for face) and...

    Adams Shampoo Dosage

    I have the Shampoo, not the dip. There are no directions as to the amount to use, only how to use it. This is the Adams Flea & Tick Shampoo for Cats & Dogs. Apparently they no longer make the dog only shampoo, which is a bit strange. The other shampoos I've seen are either cat OR dog, not both...

    Adams Shampoo Dosage

    I need to bathe some of my chickens for mites and scaley leg mites. We used ivermectin pour-on for cattle (1-2 drops, 3 times a week apart) last winter and thought we got them. Also malathion powder for the coop. Guess we missed some. Not sure where the mites came from. I never realized how...

    Polish hens have mite infestation in crest. Help

    I have 2 white Polish hens, maybe 3yr old. We've been having problems with mites. When I checked them, I found infestation in both crests and the vent area in one. The also have scaly leg mites. We've been fighting those for a year. Thought I had gotten rid of them with Ivermec but they're back...

    Roo got wet/really cold, thin, mites or lice, has leg mites

    Didn't have Dawn so used Ajax. I'm still shaking from the enormity of this. Finally took him out of the tub I was using and just used the hose to rinse, rinse, rinse. Will use the flea soap now. I know it could kill him but don't really have any other choice. My poor chickens and turkey will...

    Roo got wet/really cold, thin, mites or lice, has leg mites

    Really, really bad news. I just fed him again and was looking at his skin. I found a freaking major colony of mites. They aren't on the base of the feather, on the feathers themselves. He's going in for a soak right know. This is really bad. I have checked other chickens and not seen anything...

    Ivermectin and Lice

    Sounds nutritious. Whatever I give him now has to be liquid (syringe) as he isn't eating right now. If he makes it through this I'll see if he will eat that. I will pick up a small container of yogurt to have on hand for future. Wouldn't hurt me to eat them if they hit the expiration date...

    Roo got wet/really cold, thin, mites or lice, has leg mites

    My big older Brahma roo is not doing well at all. I feel really awful that I didn't see it quicker. With the time change and changing season it's getting dark by 5p. They are generally bedded down when I get out there to give food and water and lock them down for the night. He beds down on the...

    Ivermectin and Lice

    I've found myself in the same boat. Not sure if mites or lice, though. We fought lice and scaly leg mites late winter. We won the lice battle. Still fighting with the leg mites. They free range. My big Brahma roo is not doing well at all. I feel really awful that I didn't see it quicker. With...
