I have found some Elector. Permethrin seems to be o/s!

Phew! So they probs arent leaving the old building and coming out in search of them. 👹

By the way, this is Smite https://chickensbristol.co.uk/product/smite-professional-concentrate/

Thank you so much. Oh heck! What about their outdoor grassy area?

Or is the stuff I am using (Smite spray stuff and Smite DE powder) not strong enough and I should get permethrin? or summat else?

Our 6 hens live in an old stone stable block with wooden partitions (with bark still on). It has a cobbled floor! A friend stored timber in one stable for 10 plus years. The place has been infested with mites so I had to get rid of all the mitey timber I could and have sprayed the wooden...

Thanks. I thought so ..it is just her rebellious spirit! But many women are the same 😂

I sometimes think this "she" is a "he". "She" isn't quite like the other gals but likes to hang around with them. She has been seen to fly out of the run ( electric fence) and perches higher than the others. She is bigger and has been squaring up to the lads now and then, if she flaps her...

Thanks for the advice X

Yes, I can see that. Better hang on to the 2 spare boys for a bit longer then. Just discovered she has 40 hens! He just can't manage that lot on his own!

Thank you so much. Very helpful. 8 weeks, 10 weeks? And might it be a good idea to give her two so they have each other for company?

A friend wants to home one of my young cockerels. Yay! At what age might it be safe to introduce him to her flock of adult hens? (He is only 5 weeks atm and his mum is still brooding him and the others at night. )

Oh! I was assuming the rebellious behaviour was a boy and have been waiting for the comb to reveal itself! But it hasn't. I have two Maran boys ( and hopefully another Maran girl) who like being stroked!

That makes me v happy. Thanks X But can a girl be so big and feistyish? ( Trying not to be overly sexist!)

Is it possible the first 2 pics of the silvery big "chick" is a female. It is quite well grown and rather independent minded ( usually the last to go in to bed with mum in the coop) but it has no wattle or redness in the comb.i thought it a Welsummer x. The second two pics are of another more...

I will ....but meanwhile crossing fingers no combs turn more than pinkish. We have a super wee Maran x rooster among this lot who is heavier than the rest and very combed, so very obvious! Today I saw him offering something nice to one of the others.

Thank you. Do you perhaps mean all of them? 🤸 (My post was all over the place, sorry!) We are vegetarians and can't eat the boys? Hoping fate has been terrifically kind because I can keep one cockadoodle!

Do you the honey coloured chick is a pullet? Almost 4 week old, maybe Welsummer X. Hoping so as she is currently Maisie, after the granddaughter And the speckly grey/ brown? And what about any of the others? The blacks are probs Copper Maran X. I know one that I haven't shown is a...
