What is this?

I tried to dust everyone before I shut them in coop before the fist real cold snap. Then when I had them trapped in the pen but before they went inside, I did a rather heroic effort of dusting with the help of my sister. Good luck on doing again in 10 days though!!!!!!! Unlike chickens, the peas see the bottle and run for the hills now!!!

I let them ou t when we had a warmup, and I couldn't get Angel in thru wind,rain,snow. Poor baby looks at the coop as a "trap where they throw crap on you. I didn't even get to oregano him he was fighting so hard and I looked like I had been in a cat fight and lost. He must have grown up really wild!

Is that the ivermectin pour on, or the ivermectin wormer, taken internally? I've been trying to figure out this whole mite thing... Thinking whether we could just start a thread for mite treatments & what works and what doesn't and why and why not, yadda yadda.

And seriously trying to figure out how to mite treat these guys and with what....

I was referring to the pour on, but I can't see how the invermectin taken internally would do any better. Poultry dust is made for mites and is what I use for them.

Here it can work either way i know it gets absorbed threw the skin cause my rubber gloves get ripped while applying it to my bird's and when the ivermec gets on my hands i can taste a metal Taste in my mouth after a little while
, for some reason i can taste allot of things others do not notice like i could taste a fishy taste in some lettuce we grew using fish fertilizer but my DH could not taste it at all.

My, husband opened it and said there was nasty blood. To me it almost looked like a fetus. He threw it away . Ugh I'm freaked out, everyone seems ok.

It looks just like that but was filled with blood. Any ideas? The yolk seemed to be on the outside and I cannot figure out which one if my ladies did this! Even though I was right their

my husband said he witnessed 2 of our hens next to my while I was pulling weeds. I didn't see anything on anyone's bums.
