Mite powder making chickens sneeze

[jackcooper]

Hi I have recently put some mite powder on my birds but I have noticed that they are sneezing and it sounds like they have a bunged up nose. what should I do leave them to get on with it or get treatment for them.

Does anyone have any ideas?

If it has DE in it, whih they often do, DE is highly irritating to the respiratory tract. I used to put DE on my garden with a duster, and I assure you, if you mess up and sniff some of the cloud, you will sneeze A LOT.

Oh ok but is it harmful to them?
