Hens eat everything! Permethrin in dust bath.

[amyf]

I added permethrin to their ash and dirt dust baths and as much as they love their dust baths they sit, bathe and peck all around them. Are they ingesting the permethrin and if so how long should I wait to eat the eggs? Not of that sounds appetizing, but my hens love to eat.

What is Permethrin and why are you using it?

 

[amyf]

It is poultry/veggie dust for lice/mites. I was using it as a precaution due to the bare backs on all of my chickens including my roo.
