I noticed little black things on my hands after candling the eggs under my broody the other night, I assumed they were mites so bought some "pestene" the next day and, while she was off the nest, replaced all the bedding and put the pestene through the new bedding. Sprinkled it all through the coop and then caught everybody and dusted them all individually.
Is this enough or do I need to re-treat?
Was this ok to do to my broody/her nest?
I only ask because the instructions were a little vague, just how to apply, and nill egg with-holding. Plus this is my first broody on eggs, she's on day 10 if that affects anything...
