    Lice

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone uses Sevin on their chickens? If so how do you feel about the safety of your girls and the safety of eating the eggs after treatment? I use Dry Kil which is a sulfur/ rotenone product. I would prefer to use something natural to kill them but i don't know if...
