WEAR WHAT YOU WANT!

Al, speaking of what to wear, how're the creepy crawlies doing?

Hahaha!

I think nobody (not even my bf)
would've appreciated me going naked.

Did you post on the wrong thread?

I thought maybe you were going to a 4-H Banquette or something.

I was a bit bummed to see a few bugs when we went to do the second treatment. But I am not sure hiw you are supposed to time the second dose so you get the eggs after they hatch but before the new ones lay.

The first few I used the horse lice powder on (which is what I used the first go around), but lots of you'll had suggested putting the powder in a tub, putting hen in tub, and fluffing the powder through her feathers. wellllllllllll

So I tried it that way, and FIRSTLY, gently rubbing it all over the hen and through her feathers made So many feathers fall off (still molting), and SECONDLY, it used up way more powder so I got only four hens done before the entire large can of powder was gone.

So.... I searched through my entire house and found some old human lice shampoo.. I said the kids had to wash the three old hens that had both lice and I think a touch of vent gleet, while I ran to town to buy more stuff.

I ended up with cat spray (all of the things I used had the same active ingredient). The spray was much faster...

Anyway, it is probably time to pick one up again and see if that did it.... Some had so many eggs though...I wonder if all have hatched out yet, might need a third round.

My hen that looked like a zombie... Must gave been a zombie from scratching/itchy, she is covered with lovely pin feathers now!!! No bare skin anywhere!

Good Job!

Pro biotics for the vent gleet.

Nope, I find it amusing to trespass forum turf every so often.

It is fine to post on any thread that you want--but if you are not asking a real question, it is trolling like behavior--Posting to make someone angry--

Did you really have a place to go to?

I thought maybe you accidentally made a left turn when you meant to hang a right and wound up here by accident. It can be risky business, wandering in here - you might get drafted into pushing wheelchairs, or something.
