    Can permethrin be used on chickens?

    I just wrote another reply/question in this thread asking about humidity. Have you ever had to spray the premises and wait for it to dry while it was really wet or humid out? We're supposed to get heavy rains in the next few days and my product is supposed to arrive on Sunday, and I'm hoping...

    Can permethrin be used on chickens?

    Omg, I'm having a very hard time finding product in stock! :( Plus, heavy rains are coming the next few days. Have you ever had to treat in humid, or even wet, conditions? I've found a 0.25% permethrin Garden & Poultry dust (only 2 left at TSC; hopefully, I can get one before they're gone...

    Can permethrin be used on chickens?

    Treating the birds would be fruitless until i could treat the premises, right? I just discovered lots of lice egg clusters on a hen, and being only Monday and the distance I travel for work, I wouldn't be able to do a coop clean out and spray until the weekend! A dear friend passed away...

    Can permethrin be used on chickens?

    Do you know if either of these powders work? The Garden & Poultry is listed as 25% permethrin, but the Gordon's doesn't list a %age.

    Can permethrin be used on chickens?

    Do you know if the liquid tends to do a better job than powder on the actual birds?

    Depluming mites and treating the RUN

    Thank you. All of that makes sense to me. In my case, it turns out I was wrong in thinking they had bare backs. Another neighbor has that situation, and I think when I saw one of my friend's with a few back feathers missing I assumed they did too. So thankfully that's not something I'm having to...

    Depluming mites and treating the RUN

    ...even more room in the chicken yard almost daily, than just in the coop and run, which, again, will be more space than what they've been used to. * I'm wondering whether affording them more space, from what you know, might be able to stop a picking habit, if that's what it is. * Also...

    Watery poo with undigested grass

    @azygous It also looks like you tied both pairs of straps about the torso and back, and didn't involve the neck, is that correct? Does the crop get situated underneath the bra near the top, so that the bra sort of rests against it? I put mine on my hen, and the crop is beneath the fabric (i.e...

    Watery poo with undigested grass

    Makes sense. Thank you so much.

    Watery poo with undigested grass

    @azygous I read your article! Can you tell me what kind of glue you used/would use for the simple crop bra with Vet Wrap? I'm ready to try a crop bra with one of my hens, and I want to get something on her asap until I can buy or sew one (assuming a sewn one would last longer?). Hot glue/cold...

    Compact soil in Chicken Yard: Material Ideas

    This is helpful, thank you. And yes, we do have black walnut trees, even on our property (though not near the chickens' area).

    Impacted crop?

    I just found this thread in my research on impacted crop. I see this reference to tomato juice, but not a quantity. How much should be given, and should it be followed by massage? (Also, do you know what it is in tomato juice that makes it effective?) Thank you.

    Compact soil in Chicken Yard: Material Ideas

    I'm trying to rebuild/build up a specific area: the chicken yard. I have a coop; a covered run with food, water, dustbathing, etc.; and an outer chicken yard that's fenced around but open at the top (so is that technically called another "run" area?). This outer chicken yard is what's become...

    Pyrantel Pamoate: Paste, Nemex-2, or neither?

    I've already given the Nemex 2 dose, but I can try the Valbazen for the 2nd dosing. However, with those birds still molting, I was glad to find something that was not a benzimidazole this go round...

    Pyrantel Pamoate: Paste, Nemex-2, or neither?

    Thank you so much for your reply! I do know why a dose has to be repeated, which is why I was confused when the online instructions for Nemex-2 only stated one dose. However, while we're on the subject, I've read "10-14 days" for a couple different wormers. It's funny, in a way, because I would...

    Pyrantel Pamoate: Paste, Nemex-2, or neither?

    My Valbazen is at least 1.5 years old, and I found a (regular-sized) roundworm in a dropping. Some of my birds are molting. With a small flock of 6 birds, I'm considering using Nemex-2. Then go back to Valbazen sold in the huge (wasteful for me) bottle, or Safeguard (still expires before being...

    Pyrantel Pamoate Dosing

    dawg53, casportpony, Eggcessive: With a small flock of 6 birds, I'm considering using Nemex 2 based on these comments here, for roundworms. Then go back to Valbazen in the large (wasteful for me) bottle next time I might need it. It's available locally while the only other pyrantel pamoate...

    Time of Valbazen dose/withholding food necessary?

    Found a roundworm in a hen's stool. I will dose each bird individually, undiluted, with a syringe. Best I can do to withhold food beforehand is to dose at either 11 p.m. (about 5.5 hrs after they go to roost) or about 6 a.m. (about 1 hour before they get up). Is either of those any more...

    Broomstick method on heavy bird?

    Thank you. It is a sad event. I do the same with my birds too - a quiet, special time before helping them enter their final rest. I've never held them upside down to do this either, but I suddenly wondered about it after reading others say it has worked for them. I've decided I'm just going to...
