    Permethrin Spray for Scaly Leg Mites?

    What would you suggest for killing them? I've tried a lot of things! Keep in mind, I have 50 chickens.. I'm to the point where I might have to try Ivermec once egg production slows down.

    Feet joint issues

    Can someone tell me what is wrong with this chicken? She doesn't seem to have an issue with getting around. Could it be a uncommon reaction to scaly leg mites?

    Ivermectin Doses

    I have read this in the past. It still doesn't indicate if another dose is required after X amount of days. It doesn't matter what type of Ivermec I use, it is not clear. I think I will phone the farm vet next week.

    Ivermectin Doses

    Leghorns Molting -30

    My poor white leghorns are molting. It's been to -30. There are feathers all over the ground. My other chickens are all very healthy and fully feathered. Non of the leghorns are too bald though - except for their necks. I got them from Rochester Hatchery and they laid every day - non-stop for a...

    Ivermectin Doses

    My chickens are not laying right now, so I thought it would be the best time to treat with Ivermec for the stubborn scaly leg mites. I will be treating orally in their water. MY QUESTION: How many TIMES do I need to do this to totally kill of scaly leg mites? Just once? If twice, how soon...

    Do you have to dose again in 10 days or so, or does this kill the eggs?

    Lice - Ivermectin number of treatments

    I would in the summer, but I don't think some of my chickens would make the winter if I did that! I thought some were just molting, but there are so many egg clusters :(

    Not at all - I thought this would be a helpful, informative post to start just incase people are considering to not provide water in the winter.

    Eating Snow

    If you've seen my other posts, you'll see that we are installing an automatic, heated waterer in the run. Also, a "few" would be 6-8 jugs per day for how many birds we have.

    Eating Snow

    What is your view on chickens eating snow as their ONLY water source over winter time? Does anyone do this? I know a few local farmers in my area that do...

    Lice - Ivermectin number of treatments

    We have just about 100 chickens. They have lice. I have tried a lot of things in the past and it is hard to get a handle on. How many doses of ivermectin do they need for lice? I am hoping just 1 will get rid of them and the eggs?!?! If we do go this route, I will administer it in their...
