    Questions Re: Northern Fowl Mites

    I have found Northern fowl mites on some of my hens. I will treat my coop and flock soon, but would like to continue to sell eggs. So... Here are my questions: 1.) I understand that permethrin is labelled for use on poultry, but that there are a lot of problems with mites becoming...

    Can't believe I'm just seeing this... We've just got two RIR hens now, and they are a couple of years old. -In fact, we may stew them this winter. No RIR rooster...

    Hello
