I just picked up 3 black sex (?) hens and a rooster. This is an established group. The owner had to move and she had to give up her chickens. I have spent $700 building a 12 X 20 run and a 6 X 6 house. When I picked them up this evening, 2 of the hens are missing feathers on their backs. One of their backs looks pretty bad. The woman said they have ticks and she dusted them with Sevin dust yesterday and they needed treating again. Is Sevin dust ok to use? I am ordering Food Grade DE, but it won't be here for a week or so. Will the DE work? I can post picks tomorrow. Any help?? I am new to chickens, so please help me.
THANKS in Advance
Steve
