    Mites and Lice

    Thanks for that, do you think the liquid would work well for the ground in their pen area? I really can't afford the $160 stuff and anyone who goes in there comes out with extremely itchy legs that doesn't go away until we shower.

    Mites and Lice

    After taking the pics I put the blu kote on all the red areas and dipped his feet and rubbed his wattles in oil, it was quite difficult using the vaseline on his feet with the feathers so hopefully the oil will work.

    Mites and Lice

    I was able to get some more pics of him but the ones of his back area didn't turn out the light from the flashlight was too bright. That area is definitely improving but he still has a ways to go. There is a red area on his breast bone and under wattles and his feet still look pretty bad.
