So,,, I went in to coop least evening to make sure all hens were up on the roost,,, and guess what I found due to having it be dark and I had my flashlight????????

Its Always something ,,,RIGHT
My hens have mites... What a pain in the neck! I need to do something quick due to a crammed next week and do not have time to babysit 24/7. Luckily no one is laying right now.
I typically do a better job at watching out for these things but with DH and myself having a new health issue I have not done a good job. I did get the whole coop shop vac'ed out but never followed up with bug prevention.
It is suppose to be warmer a bit, Sun - Wed.
I have our DD and her family up from Portland for the day.
I am going to order this today- I am just going to order 2 boxes so I have extra on hand.
@Hinotori said she has used this below--so you used ? 3 drops per bird ??
I have 14 hens, should I get 4 boxes??


OR this one it costs less

I am going to go to Wilco or Lows after church Sunday and get stuff for the coop,
I'll give all the hens a through hinny washing before giving them the drops.

Just the Frontline brand for dogs. No idea if the other brands are safe. Egg withdrawal would be a couple months. Reason I only use it on broodies who wont lay for a long while

There is a difference in the ingredients,, so I am going to get 2 / 6pk of the frontline
