I have a giant Cochin that has been sitting on eggs since the 21st. She is in a nest box that is approx 3 feet off the ground. This is my first time letting a hen sit on eggs. I probably should’ve moved her to a different area closer to the ground awhile ago. I obviously didn’t think about...

If I use elector in my coop and ivermectin orally for my chickens, will this be an effective treatment for lice? Apparently, even though Elector is not labeled for use of lice, it IS effective. I don’t want to pour it on my birds. I had a horrible experience with DE that caused...
