    Permethrin for Maggots

    Hi all, I'm looking for some advice after discovering a maggot infested wound on one of our hens yesterday. We initially panicked at the sheer horror of the injury, it seems that the maggots had been tunneling away under her skin on her belly for quite awhile, and we only became aware when the...

    Elusive Mites??

    Good morning I’ve had an issue with my flock for awhile now. They constantly shake their heads. It’s like a quick shake, say, like you would to shake your hair out of your eyes. They also constantly scratch their heads. They have lost feathers ALL summer, like they are molting. They have a good...

    Engaging in WWIII with Mites and Lice

    SOS! I've recently discovered my poor girls' coop is covered wall to wall with mites (or lice?) nests--gray dusty clusters. I had noticed signs that they might have an infestation, and discovered its extent upon treating with Permethrin 10. Because our coop is not a walk-in design, it's very...

    Permethrin 10 Liquid: Dosage for Coop and Hens?

    Hello! I'm hoping that someone in this community might have experience battling mites specifically using Permethrin 10 Liquid (diluting and using as spray). I'm having trouble coming across a consensus on this one. I found red mites in the coop and I'm sure my poor hens are suffering because of...

    New Flock Adoption = No Eggs

    We recently dove back into the Chicken life. A friend told us about 4 rescue Reds that needed help, so I purchased a coop and attached run - and they have fenced free range as well. They have great food, clean water every day, treats, shade - nesting boxes etc - all the right stuff. The first...

    Northern Fowl Mite Disgust

    This is going to be sort of a long story..I have been dealing with Northern Fowl Mites for who knows how long. I had treated my flock for it last year and believed to have gotten it under control but am suspicious that they never fully went away. The topic keeps me up at night, I want them GONE...

    A few coop and run questions.

    My coop renovations are underway - I’m adding a hardware cloth apron around the bottom of the run, and adding hardware cloth over top of the chicken wire. This summer I’ll put a real roof, but for now I’m just going to use a see-through tarp over top and be sure to keep an eye on snow load. The...

    Lice!

    So I got a rescued racing homer pigeon the other week, and today I was handing him as normal when I got home from work and I felt something crawling on me. It was two long, thin bugs. I googled, and sure enough, they're feather lice. They look exactly like this...

    Depluming mites! Please help! Confused with what treatment to use.

    Hello everyone! I noticed that the feathers on my birds have become raggedy at the ends with some horizontal lines on the wing and tail feathers. I'm thinking they have a case of depluming mites. I plan on cleaning out the coop and spraying everything down with permethrin. My bantam cochin's...

    Questions about Permethrin

    I live in Florida. Hot and humid=bugs. Can I spray Permethrin on my lawn? Will it help with no-seeums? I only let my chickens out of their run when I am at home for a few hours a day, but I am concerned if I spray the Permethrin, will it be safe for the chickens to graze on the grass and bugs...

    So how do I do this?

    Okay, so I got a 2# canister of Permethrin at the feed store yesterday. It says it will treat 100 chickens per lb. I have 23 birds. So I need about a quarter pound to treat all my chickens. Two questions. First, how do I figure what a quarter pound of this powder looks like without pouring into...

    Checking a few important points before Permethrin treatment

    I have a few quick questions: *First, can someone please check my numbers for diluting permethrin 10?: Bird = 19 mL/gal water (or 0.65 oz, same as listed for a dog); and Inside Premises = 2 oz/3 gal? (I have a very small flock.) *Many people recommend treating birds off the roost after dark...

    Permethrin for laying ducks?

    Hi Friends, with the weather being so wet here, a fly problem has developed in and around the duck house. Even though all of the duckies have passed their master's degree in fly-catching they can't keep up with the flies anymore, so i wonder how we can get rid of the swarms in a safe way. I...

    Storing and Disposing of Mixed Permethrin

    Hi all! I treated my birds for mites last week and wanted to do a follow up treatment. I used the concentrated permethrin spray. My question is...is the mixed solution still good to use or do I need to mix a fresh batch for every treatment? And if I do need to mix fresh, what is the most...

    Safe to use fertile eggs to incubate after Permethin?

    I just dusted my coop and some of my girls since they have some lice. I was already collecting eggs prior for incubation and just realized that I have no idea if the eggs tomorrow will now be ideal after this treatment for incubating? Thoughts? I used Gardstar poultry dust. I'm hoping I can...

    Permethrin 10 Withdrawal

    Our birds picked up lice at the fair last year. Apparently we didn't get rid of them all so we're retreating now. Can anyone remind me about Permethrin 10: 1. What is the egg withdrawal period? 2. When is the second dose due? 3. Since we have twice the flock size can I just make a dip and dunk...
