Dusting Your Fowl: Hold your 5% SEVIN DUST in your right hand while holding the chicken in your left hand upside-down. First powder her/his butt then one shake under each wing. NOW, while still holding the legs firmly, lay him/her on a flat surface, belly down and shake dust near tail on the back and under neck feathers. Don't worry about poisoning the bird. It will not harm them and they will shake dust anyway when you turn them loose. Now, gently set the bird on the ground or on the floor of the coop and step back quickly. Dust will FLY! It won't hurt you either but just to be safe, wear a paper mask when dusting fowl. Just remember to use 5% SEVIN and not 10% SEVIN DUST. GO GETUM!

thankyou poohbear and papa for that info.....the main two things i did was no gloves and no mask.....it didnt sound like too much to worry about tho?

 

[kryptoniteqhs]

update...the stuff i used on the roo worked...no more lice OR mites!!! yay!! the only thing is there is still eggs, but from what i understand, those will be gone from the next treatment (two weeks from the first)...hope so...oh and i want to give him a bath so those stupid things dont hatch or anything, but im afraid if theres any medicine left on him that still maybe working that ill wash it off and theyll come back....so i was thinking id wait until it gets closer to the 2 weeks and then do it and then dust him again....what do u think....i just dont want those nasty things to hatch!!

 

[Poohbear]

You don't need to bathe a chicken. Let the Sevin work and check them in two weeks. Look carefully on the feather stems also for mites. Rub some scarlet oil on the legs to kill any scaley leg mites. Sometimes a little Adams flea and tick spray or frontline spray for dogs is needed to kill bad infestations but the 5% Sevin usually is good for a long time. Just pick one up every once in a while and look on the feathers. I never wear gloves or mask to dust with Sevin so don't worry bout Sevin unless you have a reaction.

Nobody ever said what the wait time is on eggs. How long do you usually wait to eat the eggs?
