While doing a spring coop cleanup I discovered some of my girls have mites. I want to treat all 3 of my coops but one of them has 4 broody silkies in it. They are on day 12-14. With it hurt the developing embryos if I spray down the coop, nest boxes and mamas? I planned to move the girls to some temporary boxes for the day so I could do this.
If I wait until everyone hatches the infestation could be worse, and the babies would need to be treated as well. And again, will they be harmed if they are so young?
I’m just trying to go about this in the best way for the flock.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
