I have a flock of 40 hens and I found lice on two of them today. I know that I need to treat all hens and the coops. I have the permethein to use.
so questions are:
what do I do with all the bedding I’m going to dispose of? Can I put it in the compost or should I burn it or just put it in the holler?
applying th liquid to the chickens in cold weather? We are supposed to have a hard freeze tonight in Kansas City and I’m afraid to get the hens to wet. if it were going to be warm I read that you could dip them in the solution which seems easier but I think it will be to cold for the next few days. any suggestions?
do the chickens need to stay a out of the coops for a period of time before they can go back in After I spray the coop?
and when i do the next dose in 7 days do I need to clean the coops completelay out and respray it too or just the hens?
and is there a preventative way to deal with lice and mites?
I’m waiting on my husband to get home to start the process
Thank you
