Hi fellow Oregonians/Washingtonians!
So...I just treated my flock of 7 birds with Ivomectin 1% injectible, drops on the skin for mites. Then Poultry Protector spray in the coop and then replaced the bedding.
One of my hens was badly infested, with several LARGE egg clumbs around the base of the feathers. What should I do about those? I treated them twice with 10 days between treatments. Do I have to pluck those feathers? I tried to scrape the egg clumbs off but they do not come off and the whole feather ended up coming out. Do I need to give her a bath?? Petroleum jelly?? HELP!!
Thanks!
I have been reading in the thread the road less traveled back to good health that Nustock will kill the eggs around the vent and scaly leg mites just lather on and it's natural. It's got lots of great results. You may have to order it on line I think amazon has it if your feed store doesn't carry it.
