    Old log coop, dirt floor, straw attic… mite/lice control?

    It's about half and half in numbers! When I retreat them, i may be able to grab them in the morning before letting them out.

    Need clear instructions for permethrin powder in the coop today!

    Omg, i watched a video of applying dust to the chickens off the roost, and somebody said that you should not apply it under their wings since some of them sleep with their head tucked under! 😳 I'm about to run out there right now and treat these birds! That's the first time that i've heard that...

    Old log coop, dirt floor, straw attic… mite/lice control?

    Quick question: Do you think it's absolutely necessary to wait til roosting time to dust the birds if they're kept out of the chicken house til it dries? I'll be treating mine today, and I feel like it might be easier for me to take the birds out of the run one by one, treat and leave outside...

    Need clear instructions for permethrin powder in the coop today!

    Do you think it's absolutely necessary to wait til roosting time to dust the birds if they're kept out of the chicken house til it dries? I feel like it might be easier for me to take mine out one by one, treat and leave outside in their enclosed large yard, and then treat their coop and run.

    Need clear instructions for permethrin powder in the coop today!

    Thanks for the reminder about an old pillow case! I'll be treating my flock this today on my own, and that *might* prove the easiest way to do it. It's a good option at least.

    Can permethrin be used on chickens?

    Yes, both of them had a longer waiting period than if the two feed stores by me would have had their stuff in stock. I ended up finding both liquid and powder, thank goodness. But the rain really ramped up, continuing through the weekend. It's not raining right now, but it's supposed to start...

    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...

    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...
