I discovered a few days ago that my Rhode Island reds, Doris and Tiana, have mites. I sprayed their hutches with Manna Pro- All Natural Poultry Protector. Well, this made my Tiana very sick because I had not realized that she had a respiratory problem and it says not to use on chickens with weakened immune systems, even though it is all natural. She was almost to the point of death, however we got her some antibiotics and bottle fed her pedialyte, water, and medicine and now her comb is no longer purplish and she is holding up her head and eating and drinking, (She likes to look at her relfection in the water bowl and primp herself. What a princess!) She can walk a few steps but is still weak. What I'm wondering is what are some other completely safe ways to treat mites even if she has a respiratory problem. Thanks!
