Ok so hubby and I went out and checked over a few of the chickens for mites or lice and found nothing... Could they just have dry skin? I'll try and get a picture of it tomorrow to post for a better idea.

Love the stories!
Hate the quarantine time too.
How do you know chickens don't have that many thoughts?
If it's scaley leg mites the scales on the legs and feet will look raised and gnarly. You won't actually see mites, just raised scales.Ok so hubby and I went out and checked over a few of the chickens for mites or lice and found nothing... Could they just have dry skin?

A half teaspoon per gallon
Is it liquid or powder?
Anyone know anything about pool liners? We patched 2 holes in ours this year. I went ahead and got an estimate to have the liner replaced in case the patch did not hold. I have to say I am stunned by what the pool place charges.
Ok so while I was outside earlier, I noticed some of my chickens had picked the scales off the webbing from between their toes!! After a Google search I found out that it's mites.... So how do I get rid of them and then also prevent them from coming back??? We're very new to this but I would like to be as natural as possible. We have a dirt floor with pine shavings and grass clippings mixed in. I have also been adding lemon balm leaves and some mint leaves once a week when I turn the bedding and add new. What else should I be doing/not doing?? Thanks in advance!
So I took a picture of their feet this morning but byc isn't letting me upload it... I can post it on the fb page though if that will help. Most aren't red but the roo seems like his feet hurt, so I think they may be sore at least.
