I have Elector PSP coming in Monday to treat the coop and my girls. Can I spray them and the coop with Permethrin today (Friday)...

    Is Ivermectin recommended?

    Hey everyone, I've got a 4 year old Australorp girl that isn't walking properly, she seems quite weak and her muscles tremor slightly when she does try to walk (a symptom of the weakness I'd imagine).

    Red Lice

    My hens have red lice and it's been going on for 3 weeks now.

    Question About Scaly Leg Treatment

    A couple of my hens show signs of scaly leg mites, so tonight I started treating them all with Bag Balm. Will this work? I know the aim is to smother the little buggers, which reside up under the scales on the legs. Vaseline is usually recommended, but I thought Bag Balm seemed more therapeutic...
