    Mites issues!!!

    As far as I remember, 9ml of elector psp to 1 gal of water is what I used for a drench on my hens and seemed the same amount for soaking. Depending on how many chickens you have, you'll probably need to use a bit more to top it and the water off. You need to rub the solution down to the skin...

But I read more into cat owners' experiences here and elsewhere on how how much exposure would...

    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    Hello, new to posting here but not new to lurking the forums. Never owned chickens before my current flock and have gone seven years with them without any troubles until helene brought a couple inches of rain that flooded my pen. I've since been dealing with what seems to be tropical mites...
