Ever wondered where the pyrethrum spray came from? Yep daisies. That pungent smell when you squash it between your fingers is what kills mites, lice. I have it planted in pots around my coop. I also dry it and scatter them in the coop, nests, and run keeps them bugs away.
It's day 21 and my broody hen is struggling. I've brought a dog crate inside the house to keep a closer eye on her. She has got mites, dusted her with pestine before she started , but seems to be infested with them. Dusted her again before I brought her in and trimmed her feathers around her...
Greetings from Sydney. I'm new here so will take a while to get accustomed to your site. I have three chickens in Suburbia Mosman Sydney. Love my chickens. One is broody and close to hatching time very excited. Look forward to learn more.
