chicken boy sam,
saw one of your post about possible leg mites, here's how to fix that. I take vaseline and mix in a little sevin dust, rubb it into the leg real good and she'll be good to go, may take 1-2 extra treatments, but it'll get them pretty quick, also Ivermectin will kill them if you have any of that on hand. and one other, I havent tried this but my NPIP inspector told me about it, he says to just spry their legs with WD-40, says it works great and usually gets them in 1 treatment.

I sprayed her with WD-40 and I think I'll have to do iit again.... I like that because, since she's skittish, I don't have to try grabbing her....

yep, thats what he said too.
also, it's much easiler to wait til night when they are on the roost, for the most part you can just walk up to them then and pick them up to treat them when needed

Just did it again......it seemed to go down a bit! SO happy!

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

great, he said it worked pretty fast. I havent had a call to try it yet, so glad to hear it seems to be working

 

[chicken boy sam]

The weird thing is that she's the only chicken with it other than the polish hen, but that's REALLY small.

sometimes certain birds have a weaker immune systems and show problems like that more than others do, but yes it's odd on scaley leg mites to not effect most all of them

Any new info or pics or sales? Any new people? Wow...this thread is really slow moving...

I have always been attracted to the crevecouer. If you only had a flock of them could they handle free ranging with a little crest trimming?
