    Permethrin dunk

    Been working on treating for hen fleas. Was considering doing a permethrin dunk on my hens. Got 23 to do. What i was wondering is how much permethrin per gallon or so for a dunk. Find plenty on sprays but not much for dunking

    Permethrin hen flea question

    Got an issue with hen fleas and cat fleas ATM. Was considering getting permethrin for treatment of the hens. From what I've read Is to spray the fleas directly and also to make sure to get it on the chickens skin. Primarily on comb, vent, and under wings. What I'm wondering is how often to spray...

    Flea thoughts

    Currently dealing with a stick tight flea problem. For the chickens I'm considering DE and elector psp. I understand de on the floor of the coop may also help (dirt floor). Plan to also spray the coop with bifen. What else can I do to the chickens themselves and the coop? Maybe something...

    Backflips

    After a little reading it could be seizures. Hes wobbly and weak atm. Picked him up and he don't weigh as much as he used to do probably not getting much to eat. Figure it's better to cull him

    Backflips

    No idea. Mine free range all day and I don't watch them much. I assumed prior it was a vitamin deficiency so treated it as such

    Backflips

    So found one of my roos having serious balance issues. Head would be held back against his body and he kept flipping backwards. I treated him for several weeks for the same issue with vit b complex, vit e, and selenium. He was fine for several days and now this again. Any ideas what it could be?

    Unable to walk

    She's been pretty good on getting to feed and water. She's able to move herself around with the upper half of her legs. It's just the lower half of her legs that haven't been able to support her. When I pick her up she kicks around a bit but has no grip strength

The only one I'm not sure of was some kind of neurological and that was couple months ago maybe. Though this one has been in a separate flock from the one that had the neuro issue. Shes been on...
