Thanks Miss Prissy. I assume that means I'll have to catch them first? Or I could throw it at them That's kinda my problem. I never really raised them to be handled, though one comes up to me to be pet. My coop is not a walk-in either. So I would have to reach in there and try and grab one...

I'll keep the pine tar in mind. The only treats I give them are salad fixins like cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, celery, lettuce (I never see them eat the lettuce though. They don't really like green things except grass). Sometimes green beans. They aren't a favorite either. They only get treats...

tbckaren, Don't you need to worry about the eggs if you use sevin? I have a bottle of sevin-5 that I picked up just in case, but I read so many mixed reviews on using it...... I was going to set up their dust bath with just the DE. Maybe I will mix in sand and sevin-5 if you think that will...

Boy, Gasoline doesn't even take that blue kote off Well, the two are kinda sprayed, one better than the other. And the inside of my coop has a bunch of purple spray marks all over it I called up MM this morning and they suggested I fill up a litterbox or similar with DE and let them dust...

Thanks for the heads up, Kim! I think I'm going to try giving them fresh hamburger, too. I read that when trying to find out what blue kote was.

LOL, never mind on the mites, too. I just Googled that and it took me to a page on this site with the info I need Now why wouldn't the search feature do that Maybe I'll Google how to pick up a chicken and apply that spray, too

I Googled the Blue Kote. Found out what it was and TSC has it. Now just need to find how to check for mites. I didn't see any on the bare spot, but I don't know how small they are either.

Spotted Crow, I've been searching here for both blue kote and how to look for mites, but there are so many posts containing those words.... None are giving me the answers I'm looking for. Not in the stickies either. Could you shed some light for me? Oh, and the fact that the missing feathers...

oops, I see that the word "help" should have been at the end of the subject rather than the beginning for some reason. Sorry, I don't think I can edit the subject line, that I see.

Quote: So why would it be so bad on her and not the other three, and just starting on the other one? Do parasites have preferences? Like some people always seem to get bit my mosquitoes more than others?

Oh ya gotta love when you do a search on something, "blue kote", and you run into posts of someone telling someone else to do a search on blue kote

Mites? I don't know. I've got one of those blue no-mite strips hanging in their doorway as preventive measure. I figured I would rather prevent than have to treat for. I'll have to read up on that and see what to look for again, but what gets me is how only two could be affected? I'm assuming...

Tonight I threw their scratch down in the run instead of in their coop feeder and this is what I saw I've noticed a few feathers in the nestbox from time to time, but didn't think anything of it. What is this? This one is the worst. One other buff orp is about half as bad and the other...
