Okay, So I have Permethrin concentrate with 13.30% Permethrin in it. It says to dilute 8 ounces into 16.5 gallons of water and spray 1/2 ounces of that solution per bird or 1 gallon for 100 birds.

I have max 12 birds to treat so I think I should be safe only making a single gallon of diluted solution. So 1/2 ounce concentrate to a gallon of water, then I mist all the coops and bedding and stuff. Would this also be misted on the birds themselves or would I put some in a little dropper bottle and apply the diluted liquid directly onto their skin?


for treating poultry lice.

So lately, I have been only getting around a dozen eggs a day out of my 40+ hen's. And, since I have been home for spring break, I let them out to free range. Well, I decided that I would go out in the bushes and look for a "secret" nest where they have been laying their eggs. And I found this!

It was under one of my mesquite trees with a bunch of grass made into a little hideout.

The left angle

Are you not using a hygrometer?

You could put some of the silkie chicks that hatched 4 weeks ago into the broder to keep her company. They are probably about the same size. That way you would not have to be with her all the time which is not ideal for you, or her as she may get cold.

Does anyone have the crossed between a Gold Laced Polish roo and a SLW hen? Or a Gold Laced Polish roo and a White crested black polish hen? I want to make a sex link with the SLW mix and I just want to see what the 2 polish colors combined look like. Does anyone have these for me to know what I might get?

I don't have any polish but did cross my SLW with a few different breed hens and with black being dominant in those crosses, I got all offspring with a black base color, 2 had some degree of lacing. This genetics calculator was right on when I looked up what I would get. Hope it can help you with your crosses:

Welcome to our wild, crazy, informative world, where there's a ton of gathered information and no such thing as a dumb question

Well if that's the case. Are Zebra's black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

I would have to say black with white stripes.
