Treating Chickens with sevin dust please help!

[silkiechic]

I was just wanting to make sure that I was using the right sevin dust. I got it at walmart in lawn and garden it is ready to use 5% dust. It says on vegetables, fruits, ornamentals and lawn. Is this what I am supposed to use to dust them with? I appreciate your help.

I checked my bag, and it says for use on dogs and cats only. Have you tried a google search? Sorry I can't be of more help.

That's what I use, the 5%. I just hold them with one hand and sprinkle it under their wings, neck, underside and especially around the vest area. Rub it is the best you can making sure it gets down to the skin. They will shake a lot because it feels funny to them, but then they are good to go. You can repeat in days just to make sure.

Yes, you got the right stuff. Redust your chickens in 10 days to kill any eggs that have hatched. Dust your chicken house too,wear a mask or a towel wrapped around your face.You dont want to breathe in the dust.

Thank you so much! This is the first time I have ever had this problem, I think it came with a new pair I got and added to my flock. But I want to keep them healthy!!!

If you put the sevin dust in a nylon stocking you can powder puff them. A little easier than dumping it at them.
