What to do with this foot?

Oh yippee Lice Day!
You really know how to have a good time!

Yep... chicken pedicures for Christmas and lice treatments for New Years!!! It’s how I party!

Sorry, day one and today were both days with no photo help... tomorrow I’m going to sit her for lice!

Girl, what're you apologizing for? You are working miracles over there, Saint Kris!

Please don't take my comment as a criticism of your pics. I meant that they were the clearest in the amount of foot shown.

None taken! I’m not great with the cell phone camera, I admit it, and between holding the chicken and taking the photos... it is a struggle, you should see all the ones I delete (and that’s a blurry shot of my shoulder, and my hip, and the ceiling... all sans the foot I’m actually trying to shoot)! Then I forget to turn the phone off and drain my battery almost all the way while I’m working on her. Technology eh?

Technology? Cell phone? Do you mean magic pocket ringy thingy?

Amazing job you are doing. I’d party with you any day!

And not to take away from your commitment and what you have done, but this also shows how resilient our beloved feathered friends can be, when we take proper care of them

I’m thinking of emptying a small baby powder bottle and filling it with my carbaryl dusting powder to more easily poof it under her wings and at her butt... last time I went in with a loaded up facecloth and assulted the birds with that... chase, grab, powder, toss into storage area of coop then repeat with next poor “victim”. It was a bit messy. The 1 kg bottle is a bit much, especially with all the flapping... any thoughts on this for a dispensing method? These chickens aren’t really used to handling...

Great question. I await an answer from one of our more experienced brethren with bated breath... I am learning so much here.
