Haha I don't know where yours came from. All I know is that last winter we had a long wet spell when I couldn't burn anything and all the ashes washed away. In about 6 weeks, they were getting a few mites. Waiting a few days till the wood dried out some, and lit the fire. Next day, they had ashes to dust in and I haven't seen any on them since. Never had to powder them or anything.
I'm looking on line now but I think most big box stores have it too. I'll let ya know,. Gorgeous ducks, we live above a mt, river and every once in a while wood ducks will come through here. There are nesting boxes set up all along the river for them since they were here at one time. Sure would like to see them more often.OK!! Let me know where you get it if you will. I'm gonna use it again but this time for chickens. I sure miss the woodies. I didn't shoot very many of them but I do have a pair mounted. The drake has my band on it. I shot one every year for my fathers friend who was a fly fisherman. he tied his flies from the feathers. Other than that I just shot pictures of them. Amazing bird they can fly through the woods at alarming speeds. They have thirty two different colored feathers. Very cleaver bird. They were called summer ducks way back when. The reason they almost went extinct was because of humans. They hunted them at the wrong time of the year & dang near wiped them off the planet. There back & the limit is two a day.
Well went to the other feed store today and.....Bag Balm was on sale & they had one tube of Nu-Stock left
So I picked both up...........but I hope they just turn out to be dust collectors on the shelf but if I need them I am prepared. Think I might even use the nus tock on the dogs itchy spots after reading the label.
And I have decided my hens are goofy............since I heat my house with wood stove decided to put all those ashes to good use. Left a pan out the other day & the hens were fighting to get in there lol Today they were eating it........so I put more in their covered run in their favorite dust bath areas & I swear they pushed me out the way in order to get their first...........when I went back later you couldn't even tell I had ashes in there. Thank goodness I have an endless supply lol
My biggest hen trying to get into the wood ashes before the other two do
Our house only has gas fireplaces. Last night I told DH, "Hon, we need to have a big bonfire soon for the chickens!"
He looked at me like I'd lost the few marbles I have left...
Sure does, about killed me to have to pay shipping charges for the Nustock I ordered today since I couldn't find it near by. I'll run across it soon then. thanksLong about the middle you will find that we've opted to make our own NuStock and someone posted the proportions of the ingredients and so we are going to do it. No sense paying out all that money and worrying about where to get the stuff when you can make your own.
That's pretty much how I've always gotten by in life....find something I like and learn how to make it for myself instead of paying the high price for the same thing. It pays off down the line....
