    Permethrin purchased in hopes of solving mite problem. Good idea?

    Thank you! Quite shocking to learn this!:eek:I had no idea about Teflon being that toxic to chickens. I have not used it in years and only use cast iron and once in awhile stainless for cooking. Think I will exchange the spray for a pump type as suggested above.

    Permethrin purchased in hopes of solving mite problem. Good idea?

    Very helpful thank you! Can you tell me when you can tell the leg mites are gone/ better? I've done the Vaseline at least 4 times and my BO's legs still look scaly on the front,:( ...which is where the problem is....They do look pretty healthy on the back though and her feet.

    Permethrin purchased in hopes of solving mite problem. Good idea?

    so I bought this 5% permethrin spray today at Rural King. It is designated for clothing and found in the camping section. Says do not use on skin. I am hoping it is safe to use for scaly leg mites on one girl, and general bugs on a broody. Anyone have any experience with this? Seems less messy...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    It is not unheard of to wait 16 weeks before being able to determine sex on an Ameraucana… I have 3 hens now that are about 6 month old. One is much larger than the others and one is pretty small and lays smaller eggs as well. Wish I could be more helpful.
