Montana newbie

[Sharon W]

Just joined the community and am excited for the vast potential of knowledge out there. I have always been a chicken enthusiast but never able to have my own flock until three years ago when we moved back to Montana and bought a home in the county. I raise bantams of all sorts but only hens so I don’t have to mess with all the stress that comes with roosters. I love my girls but discovered that one has mites when her eyes glued shut. Took to vet and are getting her taken care of and I literally just finished injecting all the others and laying down DE. Who knew. So happy to have joined.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
The DE isn't going to rid the hens or their housing of mites. You'll need either 2 rounds of heavy cleaning and Permethrin spray or cleaning and treatment with Elector PSP.
