    Tricky case of Bumblefoot.

    Bumble foot is no fun! A few of my hens have also had bumblefoot. If you use diatomaceous earth sometimes it can dry out their feet causing the brumbles. Usually once I get the kernel out, I spray with blu kote and then leave it until the morning. Then for about two weeks I change the dressing...

    Advice on Mites & Deworming

    How do you typically treat your chickens with the mite remover? I have heard you put it into a spray bottle and spray them with it. Is there anything I have to be careful about? How often do I spray them with it?

    Scaly leg mites (best treatments?)

    I would recommend spraying the affected area with Vetericynin twice daily.For about 2 weeks or until the mites die. You can get Vetericyn from your local tractor supply or Amazon. I would also recommend after spraying the vetericyn that you smear the affected area with Vaseline or petroleum jelly.
