is there an easier way than chasing each chicken down and shaking them in a pillow case, i just spent 5 hours chasing down maybe 50 of our 75ish chickens, on a nice GA morning( meaning already 85 with 90% humidity, when i finally gave up and poured the rest of the sevin powder in thier favorite dust bath spots, they can take of it themselves. i know that a few of them had mites or lice ( the small thin brown ones which is that?) however most that i got ahold of didnt have anything on them at all, so now my main concern is worms, which they are definatly due for. If it was only the lice, how long after the treatment should they start to perk up and flesh out a bit. i know i have to get them again in 10 days, which is gonna mean a weekday after work when its even hotter... oh fun. so to summerize...
is there an easier way than shaking in a pillow case, and how long until they start feeling better.
p.s. those 75 are fully enclosed in about 1600 SQ FT with i nice big leanto for shelter food and roosts... i dont have an actual "coop" that i can lock them in and catch them easier...
also... used the sevin-5 powder
