I thought you liked your green-egg layer NNs!

I do, but the leg color is wrong for the Aloha project, so they cannot be used for it.

I like them, but I have 3 now, got 3 green eggs yesterday. They all are getting along, best to let things here settle down.

There's only 1 green egg laying hen left here now. The other's lay shades of tinted and tan.

The Dorking group is up for grab's also. They lay white egg's.

I think that you can rub Vaseline on the leg's to help smoother them if they are on the leg's. Wash and dry first before rubbing some on.

Thanks, I tried something someone on mother earth news did, which is a human hair lice spray, since I wasn't expecting the andalusian to take well to a foot bath, towel dry and vaseline.

I used the lice shampoo on my kids when they got lice, it needed to be done twice to get the hatching eggs a week -10 days apart. I think the Permethrin spray could be used on the whole flock, they are all possibly exposed.

yes, I have it. I used it on one, but not the other two yet. I really should do it all at once. I used the permethrin spray on the roost area also. Trouble is I have to have my husband do the spraying with the permethrin spray bottle, and he can only stand for so long...

I am going to try this on the ants and flies that are starting to invade. Looks OK to spray on poultry, too.

That would be a good use for all the masks I have collected. I have disposable wood for the roosts, if I have this problem, out in the trash, new boards installed! I would have to spray the nest boxes. Disposable piece of indoor/outdoor carpet and straw out in trash with the roost wood. Everything else is metal and wire.

Too bad you can only get online, but since it's premade, that means I don't have to throw it away after 24 hours, and eliminates the special rinsing of utensils that I have with the gordon's permethrin 10.

ETA:
If this is .5%, it's 10X more powerful than what gordon's says to spray on the birds, which is 1:200 of the 10% stuff. ??

I liked that it was pre-mixed. I think that the Gordon's dilution is for marketing, so that they can say it makes more gallons diluted. When we get stuff like that I try it at the recommended dilution, but almost always having to mix it to a higher concentration to get it to actually work!
