Mite infestation!🤦‍♀️😭

[Hannahnic14]

I went to treat my silkies eye this morning and saw what I thought was "dirt" on her head and neck.....she's COVERED in mites...will this poultry dust treat it? I just cleaned their coop out a week or so ago and dusted it as well.

All my silkies and my 2 polish babies have mites I have dusted them, (heads and necks) and closed off the coop they were in until I can clean it.

YIPES! Try this out too... I would go ahead and try the dust. Do some research. Pinterest would have some ideas

2 cups water.
1 cup cooking oil.
1 tablespoon dish washing liquid. This will help kill off the mites that leave the hens by suffocating them. Shake well before using because the mixture will separate.

Put it in a bottle and just spray the heck out of your coop

oh thats awful! :0 If they are small banties you can get them moved into a smaller area whilest the coop is being cleaned and until it is clean.

I'm going to spray with that mixture and let it sit all day with them outside in the run so hopefully I can get this under control. I won't have any help to deep clean the coops until sunday.
