Hey, that sounds like great stuff!! You can spray down the bird, too! Good!! But of course.. in the winter, probably not a great idea. I'll stick with the dusting powder until it warms up. :) But sounds like it's perfect for spraying down their coop.

Hawkeye - Here is the description from TSC:

Poultry Protector clean away these pesky bugs safely, without the use of harsh chemicals found in so many other insect treatment products. Ridding the coop of these pests helps reduce stress and makes your birds more comfortable so they can do what they do best: lay beautiful eggs, grow and flourish.

Active Ingredients:
Potassium Sorbate .1% by weight
Inert Ingredients:
Water, Yeast, Citric Acid 99.9%
Directions For Use:
(16 oz. Poultry Protector or Diluted 33.9 oz. Concentrate)
To get started:
  • Remove bedding material
  • Spray entire habitat (top, sides, and surrounding grounds) with a fine mist
  • Replace bedding with new material before introducing birds
  • Repeat this process periodically to maintain appropriate cleanliness
Birds: Poultry Protector can be sprayed directly onto your birds as often as desired. Keep spray away from the eyes to avoid irritation. To avoid potential chilling and associated stress, Poultry Protector is not recommended for birds under 10 days of age, extremely old or debilitated birds. For Best Results, ensure that Poultry Protector thoroughly coats the birds' skin by manually displacing the feathers or inverting birds completely during application. Spray chest, behind the head, under wings and around vent.
For dipping birds with severe infestations (must use the Poultry Protector Concentrate): Fill a five gallon tub half full (2.5 gallons) with warm water. Add 6 ounces of Poultry Protector Concentrate. Allow bird to sit in water for three to four minutes. Just before removing bird, briefly submerge the head.

I think I found my own answer. I found Manna Pro Poultry Protector at TSC and Orschlen. Has anyone ever used this product before?


I bought some, don't waste your money. I thought it looked like it would be handy.
I use ivomec, or frontline. I think I like the frontline better. Yeah, I know it is not labeled for poultry use, but lot of things we use for poultry are not. Just have to use with caution. But, they will knock the bugs off.
 
Finally got some pics loaded.

i just got my laptop back from the shop and some of the programs were kind of messed up. I love my computer when it works, but when it doesn't I'd just about throw it through the window. Thank goodness Mike likes to fix the problems. Here is Brittany or Britt. I just love her "happy dog" face!

.

Here she is with Mike. Notice his other best friend on his arm. That's Johnny.

I can see now who's dog that is going to be.Britt will fit in nicely with Runt and Buddy.I could tell Mike was really happy about get a pup to go along with Buddy and Runt.They both are real sweet dogs.That's why my wife fell in with them.Can't wait to see them in person and meet Chicken Danz.
 
I'm still fairly new - what exactly does a 'Chick Days' event entail? Maize is only 30 mins from me. Tks for the heads up.

Basically it means when the stores get their chicks in. They don't carry them all spring or summer long. Just during certain times and then it's all over until Fall. But they usually have sales going on then too-- like the food, water founts, feeders... that stuff may be marked down. Then you'll be paying full price again when it's all over. It's a good time to stock up.
