I treated my hens for lice with poultry dust. I used Prozap brand .25% Permethrin. I totally cleaned out the coop and nests. sprinkled it all over along with DE put in new bedding and sprinkled some in their favorite dust bath areas. I also put some on top of the bedding in the nests where my broodies are sitting and dusted the hens behinds.
Questions:
I have been tossing the eggs because of the dust in the bedding. Do I need to continue doing this? For how long?
They pecked at and ate some of the dust in their dusting area, will it harm them?
I was going to put chicks under my broodies next week. will the dust harm the chicks?
How long until I see results? I picked up my broody later that day and no longer saw lice only the eggs on the feathers.
How long in-between treatments?
Do i need to totally replace the bedding with the next treatment or just dust the birds again?
Sorry so many questions, thank you for any help
