Ok. Picked up some nustock and applied it with a vasoline coating to lock it in. I just did the one bird as the others really don’t have any issues like this bird is.

Why cats?

I’ll check Nustock. I use the pine chips from tractor supply. (White bags). My first chickens were older and from a buddy. I didn’t know any better and they all already had them. That was 2018 and all my birds basically have had it since. 😕 normally it doesn’t seem to be an issue but this bird...

Yes. I’m just curious if it would work on scaly leg mites in the birds or if anyone’s tried it?

The elector, I was thinking, would be to dip their legs in.

Yeah. I’m certain it’s in the coop and run. It’s super frustrating they don’t have anything approved and don’t put any time into backyard poultry. I saw some spray from the UK? Mite ex or something like that. Is diatomaceous earth best spread throughout the run or permethrin? I’ll spray the...

The legs are super bad SLM. My whole flock has them and has for years. I’ve done the vasoline, Vicks, veg oils. They work just ok and only for a very little bit. I don’t have the time after doing that to do my whole flock daily or every other day for weeks. The controversy is the non fda...

Has anyone tried using elector PSP for scaly leg mites? It works well for the other mites. Considering making some and dipping legs in it. Wondering if anyone done it?

I know theres some issues or controversy on ivermectin but Im at my whits end with these scaly leg mites. One 3 year old buffy now has feet so bad they are an issues for her to get around and rubbing jelly isnt working. What is the egg withdrawl of ivermectin and is it safe for us to eat the...

And to my knowledge she isn’t eating much at all. She has been acting like she cannot see. Including early on.

One of our favorites started showing signs of eye problems and lethargy last week. We let it go as it didn’t seem terrible and to see if it would resolve. Well, I work a couple days at a time and things turned for the worse. I can now smell infection. The eye is swollen shut with what looks like...

Half of it. It’s already sold.

13 girls using these 3. It was the same on the last coop. I’ve read that it’s 3-5 birds per nest and from my experience it has held true. I’m sure if you offer more they would use them, but my girls seem to do well with 3 nests 😁

When I built my coop, I left dividers out of the nest box to see what they would do. Welllll after a few weeks they made a 3 nest box without dividers 😁 so they aren’t necessary!

Selling my old coop. It is 4x8. $700 Western Washkngton

Got it all loaded up! Had to pull the other out. Just need to level it. For now there are 3 out of the 13 birds sleeping in it Lol two jumped in and laid eggs in the nest box. 😆

Not sure why the two posted separate. The nest box pic goes with this tag lol 13 birds, three spots and they only use one or two lol

That’s funny. Ours go in one and two at a time. Even with three boxes there is always one to two free. It will be interesting to see what they do without the dividers!
