And my one hen with loose stool was in real.bad shape so I am glad that everything I have done she is looking better now, mostly has solid poop, and seems to be doing better

Yes just looked it up seems like a good preventative measure. What do I do if the mites are on the feather shaft? I guess if I put it on the skin may be a few drops around the vent and a few drops under each wing and maybe one drop in the back of the neck that will target most of the areas that...
