My chickens have Depluming mites (I assume). For a while I thought the feather loss was from the fact that we had two roosters. Checked roosts and chickens at night, no sign of mites. They don’t seem to pull their own feathers or scratch themselves much but now it’s at the point where their skin is getting red and irritated. That being said, I bought elector psp for the hens and ivermectin for the roo (he’s freakin huge and only kind of nice). Three questions:
1. Is elector psp really affective as a one and done method? I fear it will be hard to tell if it worked. Plus $30 for 9ml
…
2. If I am using ivermectin on the roo and I have to reapply after a week, does that give mites a chance to hop back on hens?
3. I’m treating the hens with elector psp so I don’t have egg withdrawal. If ivermectin roo fertilizes their eggs, should there be egg withdrawal?
Thanks
