    Mites

    Thanks for commenting. I spray the coop with permethrin. I’m sure I don’t do a good enough job on the dusting of them. Like I said I get tired after around 10. My chickens aren’t tamed like some. I have to catch them in a net. I put DE in the dust baths they use. So I’m gonna do dipping today.

    Bronchitis

    I was going to deworm but don’t know if I should. What do you think.

    Bronchitis

    Cracking sound when breathing. They still eat just not like they use to. Diarrhea. Like I said most have gotten back to normal. The egg production hasn’t come back to normal. Eggs seem smaller.

    Wheezing & sneezing for 2 months!!

    I just look it up. It says not to give meat or egg laying chickens. Is that just while your giving it to them and what is the waiting period before you can eat their eggs again.
