    Stumbling Duck

    I treated them with a permethrin spray. I’ve treated birds for mites before, so I know how to do it. I’ve been using a large syringe, but I think a tube syringe will probably work better. I’ll look at tractor supply.

    Stumbling Duck

    One is doing better than the other. I have tried force-feeding, but she still isn’t eating a whole bunch. She spits 80% of it out. The other one will not eat at all. I’m afraid she may not make it. I called my vet, and she said to continue what I am doing and hopefully I’ll see improvement...

    Stumbling Duck

    There is 25mg in one pill, but I’ve only been giving them half. So, about 12.5mg.

    Stumbling Duck

    Quick question. How long will it be until I see improvement? Will it be almost immediate or will it take a couple of days or weeks?

    Stumbling Duck

    Kentucky. It’s been in the 40s 50s range. Pretty good for around here.

    Stumbling Duck

    I do have a kiddie pool! I will do that! It’s been warm the past couple days, so I’m not super worried about them being cold. Especially since they aren’t wet from the pond and are out of the wind.

    Stumbling Duck

    This is what I’ve given them The Activated Charcoal was in capsules, so I opened one and sprinkled the contents onto their food. The B-Complex, however, was in pill form. I broke it in half and gave a half to both hens. It was kind of a lot of work to get it in them, but I did it. I...

    Probably just open the capsule and sprinkle it on their food.

    Stumbling Duck

    I’ll go to the store tomorrow and separate them from the flock. I’ll also call my vet and see what she thinks. She’s great with poultry. The reason I say genetics is because I’m not too sure about their background as far as inbreeding goes. I just bought the eggs and hatched them.

    Were the results from pathology inconclusive?

    Stumbling Duck

    It’s been going on for a couple weeks. I strongly doubt that it’s poisoning. I bought fortified nutritional yeast with b vitamins in it. I’ll bring them in since it’s been cold. The pond is easily accessible, in and out. I’ve never had an issue with any of the other breeds I’ve had (mallard...

    Stumbling Duck

    I have a runner duck hen who is having issues with stumbling over her feet. She can get around, but it is clearly a struggle. She usually doesn’t leave the pond and when she does, she can hardly get out. I bought some nutritional yeast to give her as a niacin supplement. I’ve also attached a...

    Unknown Mite/Lice Species

    I got it. There were also mixing instruction on the bottle. I plan on spraying once per week until I am not finding lice anymore. I didn’t see Elector PSP at my feed store and I don’t really want to order it online. If I just can’t get rid of them I might try it, but I have a feeling the...

    Unknown Mite/Lice Species

    I just deep cleaned the coop and discarded all the bedding. I sprayed the whole coop with permethrin solution and let it air out a little. I added fresh bedding, fresh nesting material, all of that kind of stuff. I sprayed the hens all the places @Ovaro Mare mentioned. I hope this helps because...

    Unknown Mite/Lice Species

    Thanks so much! I got Permectrin II which is a 10% permethrin solution. This is great information! Do I just mix it with water?

    Unknown Mite/Lice Species

    Ok, sounds good. Is only one treatment needed?

    Unknown Mite/Lice Species

    So what do you recommend I treat the hens with if not permethrin? Should I spray the walls of the coop and dust the floors and nest boxes with permethrin? How do you suggest going about it and how many times should I repeat it if any?

    Unknown Mite/Lice Species

    After I posted this thread I started looking at other threads and read about permethrin. Sounds easier to treat them with permethrin than having to dust them all with DE lol
