fisherlady, heres a terrible picture of some of the chicks, have 17 out, with four or five more eggs to go, just remember, i'm not a picture taker, i usually leave it to my husband.
well here they are, and almost forgot, the little oe that was upside down in the egg, hatched with my help and its perfect

You are way too hard on yourself...these are very good pics!! And very cute babies

..congrats Sharron!

okay so I bought

1. garden and poultry dust -----it has permethrin as the active ingredient and all kinds of caution instructions about not letting children or adults come in contact with this dust in a drift.

2. "all natural" poultry protector in a spray bottle.
this one says: non toxic alternative to harsh chemical treatments. helps protect your coop and birds from mites, fleas, and ticks.

active ingredient: potassium sorbate, 1% by weight

other ingredients: water, yeast, citric acid 99.9%



so I am wondering if the all natural spray is 99.9 percent OJ and water??????


dhetzel will know this , I am sure!

Plus I have asthma and have been very sick this week with respiratory something............cold, bronchitis, sinus infection who knows ....maybe strep sore throat..............

I don't like the stuff that has all kinds of warnings re: inhalation risks.....................anyway------------------lets see what you all think about these!

I use 'sevin'...only when absolutely necessary...I am trying out a all-natural-'cleaner-bug spray' I have found on pinterest. It is mostly made up of vinegar, with citrus added (orange/lemon-peels) and other things that little bugs and such don't like..cinnamon/lavender/oregano...all natural items like that...all things I am growing, which saves$$$..and that's a good thing anytime!! I have been "brewing" this stuff for almost a month now(mason jar)..it will be ready in about another week. I am also using this in the house for a all-natural cleaner, great around the dogs and grand-baby! Some really great things on Pinterest...if anyone wants to 'follow' i don't mind giving out my pinterest name..if anybody want to share

FutureFarmer31 That's my pinterest name. I have to go under a secret alias because if kids from school found my pinterest and it was nothing but chickens and stuff, I would never have any friends again

. People would think I was so weird.

the only sevin I could find at the tsc was in larger bottles that were in the garden section and looked more like you would spray it primarily on garden plants..........not animals......

When I read about sevin for poultry lice they refer to a powder...........but I just cant find it.................where do you find yours and what type of sevin is it?

I clean my coop with a vinegar water solution regularly................I wonder if this is enough? I could always soak citrus peels in the liquid.......cant see how that would do any harm.........
