Only thing I can think to say is RAID!

what i am wondering is he was shipped the end of january- so within 2 weeks he was gone, stress combined with whatever else was weakening him- someday i'll have another- the bugs on him looked like pics of northern mites- either way, i am waging war on them... i am upgrading my flock of silkies, rather than pet quality, flo is a beauty from betsy, smudge, the chick is from Judy at 3 cedars and staypuff is a mystery...So i will be hoping to get some better quality in the future, after the mite issue is settled- and these are my other boys from Betsy, beautiful sweet ones too, but with eyesight challenges so don't plan on breeding them...
my father in law swears by tobacco in the nestboxes- thats what his grampa used sucessfully
Elwood, interesting about the DE for your knees, gonna have to try that....
