    Can I Sell Eggs as "OG" While Using Permethrin?

    Hi everyone, I was going to check here because I was having a hard time finding this info online. Does anyone know if you can still call your eggs organic if you are using permethrin? I can just ask the neighbors that I sell to about their comfort level, but we also sell to a collective that...

    Permethrin and incubating eggs

    I was planning to give my broody hen some eggs tomorrow, because the hatch date would coincide with the date that the nearby co-op get chicks (I want to add some new breeds to my flock), but I have had two hens die in the last week. I think it was caused, or at least worsened, by a mite problem...

    Battling Mites - Need Input

    Hi everyone, and Happy New Year. My 2022 is off to a rollicking start battling mites. I first noticed them crawling around one of my chicken's vents who I have been treating for EYP.

    So we started treating mites 3-4 weeks ago. First we treated with permethrin for a week or 2 then switched to ivermectin for 2 weeks.
