Permectrin; was a few weeks ago. It had gotten rid of all the lice, I redusted, and nothing. I was still checking and spotted 1 on my silkie rooster.

I have a feeling I missed a spot..... :/

How do you see lice on a chicken?  Do they itch?

They don't itch, they are small straw colored critters about 2-3 millimeters long. They chew the feathers, and irritate the chicken, causing a drop in egg production. They are not blood suckers, but large quantities on a young chicken can kill.

Bummer.  Thanks for letting me know though - Bet it's hard to get the dust all the way down to Silkie skin.

Totally!

So is everyone elses broodies fierce? Both of mine were always nice, and never once pecked me, but sure sounded fierce.

I've only had one go broody, but I had to wear heavy leather work gloves or she'd draw blood...nasty beech

Hope you guys have a good night! I skipped a thousand posts or so, so don't know who is hatching what.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger; I've read every one, and I don't know, either

The one EE that I have that has gone broody was like we drugged her. She let us do whatever we wanted. None of her eggs hatched though....

What does it mean if 11 of my 12 babies all sleep in a pile, and 1 sleeps way on the other side by him/herself?

Why is that so funny to you???? You forget I live in Savannah GA....home of SCAD!!!!! I could probably get a student who needs to do a project for a shoe making class to do it for free!!!!!

now whose laughing.....biotch!

I just had a visual of you running around trying to corral a 'gator who didn't cotton to being corralled.
