Good to know. It's definitely out of my comfort zone, and I highly doubt I could get the equipment anywhere around here... the vets don't like to share lol or treat chickens. She seems well enough, good colour etc. I'll keep you posted

Thanks ladies. i just caught up a couple other projects and just let out those in the coop that hen was in, so i guess it's time to *glove up*!

Sam, how's your girl this morning?

oops i type slow. Glad she's doing ok.

I completely agree
Beautiful hen by the way WVduckchick

Thanks. That hen (Cleo, blue brassy OEGB) was a gift from a very special friend....., our dearest Ravyn!!! Hard to believe I've had her almost a year now!

Ok, so i had some pre-mixed permethrin i was using in Cleo, but i bought some concentrate to spray the coops. Its 10%. The directions say surface spray for initial cleanup 1:19 parts to water. normal infestation 1:100. And 1:200 to spray on the birds.

Should i mix all 3 different ratios?

With the Gordon's 10% from Tractor Supply I think I have been using it at 5 ml (1 teaspoon) per quart when spraying birds.

Yes that stuff.
from my calc, 1 teaspoon would be 6 ml, but close enough lol
I think that works out to about the strongest ratio above, I'm ok with that.
Geez, i bought the big bottle thinking i would need alot more.

She has a great home!!

Sam, she was one of the very few survivors from the coon that kept getting my OEGB's a couple years back...

Yes that stuff.

I use the stronger mix too, for both birds and coops... not had any issues from that...

Big bottle will last longer...
