I guess I have a bug problem and I want them gone like yesterday. I have one chicken that started picking out her feathers at the base of her tail about a week ago. I checked her right when I saw it and found nothing so I put peck no more on her. Over the next couple of days she pecked herself bare in that spot but I still couldn’t find anything on her! Well yesterday I throughly checked her and then pulled back her feathers around her vent and watched for a while and finally saw a little bug crawl through!
I ordered Elector PSP but it won’t be here till next week and I hate to see her like this. Can I buy permethrin at Tractor Supply, treat the girls and the coop with it, then treat them again with the Elector when it gets here to make sure there’s no babies and eggs?
