That's a good idea, but not absolutely neccesary.......Pop

Ok I bought the Sevin, can someone walk me through the steps of using it?

 

[chicklover16]

And how often do I apply it?

This is what I would do...Pop may do it differently and I would listen to Pop before me! Put some of the sevin dust in a plastic shopping bag. Put a chicken in and close up the bag as high around the head as you can so you don't get the dust in the nostrils, eyes or beak. Massage the dust all over the chicken being sure to get all the way down to the skin allllllll over and get the feathers well. Put your finger in the dust and use that to get around their face and heads. Do this for each chicken. Remove all the bedding from the coop an if you have liquid sevin or bleach, you can spray the sevin diluted according to directions, or a 10% bleach solution in the coop to get into the cracks and crevices, let dry, then replace the bedding with Sevin dust sprinkled throughout. Repeat the whole process in 7-10 days, then you may even have to do it again if they're still there! Good luck!
