Marans and Back-crossed OE Breeding Project.

Sorry to hear...I use this to dust my birds and nest boxes, poop boards and roosts. Nest boxes I'll clean out at any first sign, dust bottom, add bedding, and redust. I redust periodically after that.

The wife gets it from Chewy....

The Martin's spray works great too! I do the exact same thing you do and it works wonders!

I ended up using elector on the whole flock even though they didn’t seem to be infected, it’s just the marans roosters that really seemed to have it bad.

Hopefully you get the evil mites/lice under control.

Quick Update: We ended up losing Ferdinand to fly strike. After I noticed it, we put him in a chicken tractor in the garage and sprayed him with vetricyn but it didn’t work out. Really bummed because he was such a good rooster.

On a positive note, I’m expecting my marans and bc1 olives to start laying soon. I’ll post an update when that happens.

Sorry to hear about Ferdinand, I lost a Midnight Majesty Marans hen to that a couple years ago. Nasty stuff...

Looking forward to seeing your eggs as soon as get them.
