Hi All Ball, I never heard of nustock -- is that an OTC, a brand name, or ? - thx

Hi, Syl017, yes, it is a brand name. Nu-stock is heartily recommended by Beekissed, a natural chicken keeper, on this site for many purposes. Its a very smelly potion of sulfer and pine oil. I've used it on peck wounds and irritated skin.

Gosh, I got it at my local feed store, expect it's pretty easy to find in phases like that.

I got the spinosad, but it is in a spray bottle and says "ready to use". Is it already diluted?

what do the instructions say?

Usually there is a label that pulls back to show application instructions. It sounds like it is ready.

It says it can be applied directly from container. So I guess I'll head out there and treat them now.

Sounds like a plan!

They're all treated. It was crazy how many came off the poor little guys.
How long should I wait before letting them go under their mom (they're under a heat lamp) since I treated her as well?

They should be fine to go back after they are dry--Maybe wait until after lunch.

They will be so much happier!

Sounds good. Thanks for all your help!
