Maybe I should try fermented feed. I'm allergic to most things. Right now if I'm exposed and ingest too much of a trigger, (Tomato Juice was the last major trigger) I experience inflammation and puffiness on my hands arms and lips and then the skin cracks open in several spots. *sigh* Very...
*IMPORTANT - After considering what I wrote above, I'd like to make a strong note that no one should go out and spray their chicken or chickens with red cote if you are not familiar with how they'll react. That's like putting a "kick me" sign on someone, except in the case of chickens it's a...
Now that I've been thinking about it, I believe I red coted his underside where the irritation was and left it. Because he was all red and I got him twice with red cote on his legs, once before dusting and once after. I bathed him when there was no improvement with the red cote. (red cote is...
I had a rooster with his whole underside like that. I didn't see anything. I gave him a bath which made no difference. (I thought perhaps irritation to something)

Adding:
Variety of tweezers (can't replace bowels without 'em)
Cooking spray - not tested on leg mites "yet" but will be in the future
For those who are using castor oil...do you have a good source for it or do you buy it at a drugstore?
Here it's prohibitively expensive to use in large...
Also, in Canada, they haven't been prohibited. Yet. I'm sure it's coming. I have some on hand "JUST" in case....lol. I'm a believer in survival-of-the-fittest genetics. The rare occasion has reared its head like my egg/chick who got pecked and had its yolk sac and abdomen perforated and...
