at home anti parasite remedies internal and external what can you use??

[silentangel00]

Would like to know what other things are good to give chickens that kill parasites. My ladies don't have any but still don't want them to show up "ever"

Unfortunately, if they are where other birds are at all (free ranging, fly overs, etc) your apt to run into this at some point. To prevent external parasites, make sure they have access to a dust bath with either/both wood ash and diamatious earth. During the winter, I keep a dust bath inside the coop as well. I also use Eprinex for parasites although I have heard its not as effective as it used to be for internal parasites.

Thanks and yea I have two raised beds where they bathe one around a giant Palo Verde tree and one next to the entrance to the nesting barn.

I just threw the DE into their bathing holes out in the run to help with mites as well. Good luck!
