Your new chick routine?

Maybe that's what we will do just skin them and not have to worry about the plucking

I much rather know where my food is coming from.

When do you guys start parasite prevention? (For mites, lice, etc) What do you use and how often?

I don't use preventatives, I am of the opinion unless they are in a place that is not ideal a healthy chicken should be able to keep lice/worms in check. But if I have a problem, I use Permectrin for lice and Rooster booster multi wormer for worms. (not using again, worked great but it is being withdrawn)

Do you use wormer on a regular basis? Or just when needed?
