Hi all, I have red mites in my chicken coop. I took all bedding and nesting pads out of my coop, swept it out, and sprayed it (drenched) with elector psp; I also sprayed my hens. After everything dried I sprinkled first Saturday lime and replaced all bedding/ pads. I also sprayed the chicken run...
Hi all! I'm fairly certain I have discovered some red mites in my chickens nesting boxes. I haven't found any on eggs or my girls, so I think I have caught them early. I have Elector PSP coming in Monday to treat the coop and my girls. Can I spray them and the coop with Permethrin today (Friday)...

Hi yall! I had to take my girl Nugget to the vet for a blueing comb. While there, the vet said she had bumble foot. Sure fire sign of the ‘scab’ on her foot, also, sure enough, the rest of my flock has the scabs (we are switching to sand on the flooring tomorrow). So, I followed an article I...
