Spa day pics and quiz

[tlcmama]

Everyone in the big coop got mite baths today, except the turkens in the brooder. They were spared (for now)!

Here's the set up at the beauty salon.
I decided to forgo the ivermectin this time and just do the shampoo and blow dry.



Spa day NOT what she thought it would be!



One seriously WET bantam! Also, not very impressed with the service.



After treatment snacks!



Okay so here's some interesting information:
who got washed - 3 bantums (? breeds), one buff orpington and one welsummer.

Can you guess who handled the bath and blow drying best?
Who refused the post bath snack including the pear and yogurt/scratch available in the "drying off pen"?
Who acted like you pulled her pants down at school during the whole process including once reunited with the rest of the flock?

Was wondering about your mite bathes--did they have mites or was it a preventitive? What did you use to wash them and how do you use the invermectin on them and what does that kill off on the chickens?
