16 eggs today.

  No, I am still seeing eggs/nit clusters on the ends of the feather shafts.  There are less of them on the rooster and maybe a little less on the hen, but still way too many to let them mingle with the other chickens.  It is ridiculous how long I have been treating them.  I am about ready to give up and cull them.  I won't even be able to eat them because I have used seven dust as well as the neem oil to treat them & feel like they would be unhealthy to eat.  They were suppose to be in the house for 3 weeks at the max, I believe that we are in month 3 now.I will be cleaning out the aquarium and giving them baths again tomorrow.  I have eggs in the bator, some from them, but again don't know if they will even be fertile given all the treatments they have had.  I guess I'll know by Easter!  I also have eggs in the bator from the other hen ( who is happily living outside with the other rooster, where they belong!!)
The dog has been enjoying eating the "indoor" chicken eggs, because I won't eat or sell them since I don't know for sure if they are safe or not.

Thanks for asking! 


I don't know for certain BC I don't know what you're fighting but I'm guessing lice. We've just had a fight with northern fowl mites and I think we've finally got them gone. However in my reading it seems to me that I was reading often if the nits have been killed they stay in the feather shafts until the feathers are molted. I'd do some more research before deciding to cull.
 
Cleaning up coop one and the quarrentine cage today. Tomorrow would be coop two.
Coop one: 8 by 8 ft
Coop two: 8 by 12 ft
Quarrenting: 6 by 6 in 3 story cage (upstaires)

Yes! Eggs count: 25/37 and 6/10 yesterday
28/37 and 8/10 for today.
No lost for the mean time and no quarrentined chicken.
