Poultry Protection

[Melky]

So I use poultry protector sprayed in my coop/run area and food grade DE to prevent pests when I clean everything every 1-2 weeks. I do clean up in between daily or every other day but only use these products when I empty everything and scrub it all down. So the Poultry Protector is Manna Pro and I would like to know if anyone follows the recommendation on the bottle to spray it directly on the chicken after 10 days as well to prevent pests? Please answer my poll question if able. Thanks in advance!

I have used the spray. I don't have a bottle near me though - 10 days for what?
I have used it as a precaution. Also, one of my hens has a bare area that is not vent gleet, visible mites, or lice. I believe she has depluming mites as her symptoms match. I bathe her in sulphur water and then spray her with the poultry spray. It offers her a lot of relief. I should do it more often, but hoping the fall molt will totally irradicate it.

It’s non-toxic made with enzymes to protect against mites, lice, fleas, and ticks. It’s a once weekly application after first week of use.

I wouldn't even waste the money to buy it to begin with. Do not count on it working to ever rid a bug problem.

Thanks! Did you use this product before the mites or just after found the problem?
