Hi this is an old thread but I’m dealing with the same situation a mite problem and I’m considering the cap jacks mite concentrate too. Would you recommend this product to use on my chickens for their mite problem? I’m kind of on the fence about these mite treatments because I don’t want to get...

I have six chickens and they keep on getting mites from wild birds in the area. Theyve gotten it 3-4 times or less last year :( I want to get permethrin liquid concentrate to spray down the coop and the chickens. I just wanted to only spray down the chickens instead of fully dipping them. I...

sorry, it’s not letting me insert a picture but anyways, she is just sitting down now, she is falling asleep on and off. I would have to show a video of her trying to walk for someone to diagnose her. When she’s sitting down she looks kind of normal but just tired. today she is fully paralyzed...

HELP!!!! My bantam hen is sick! Yesterday she looked a bit lethargic but I didn’t think much of it. Today I found her sittting in the grass and when she tries to walk she’s very wobbly. She will hold her wing out sometimes between steps to balance herself. Very off balanced, and more lethargic...

Hi so I have 6 chickens who are of different ages, not by much though. I separated them both by 2 groups of 3. They will not get along if i keep them all confined to their coop and run. And their run isn’t small, neither are there coops. So The higher pecking order hens will sometimes flog or...

Yes I know, frustrating because they just come daily and expose my birds to whatever they have. And they have a coop but are mostly let out to free range these days. The yard is fenced in and the tree is in the middle of the yard. big tree, so a nice place for wild birds to come and rest on...

And would it be ok if my chickens dust bathed in a DE dust bath after I treat them with the permethrin powder? I don’t know if it would affect the permethrin on them. And sorry I replied so late!

thank you for this, I’m going to dust my birds later today. I just didn’t know how long the residual affect of the permethrin powder would last for.

Should I dust my chicken for mites every other week or every week? For context, there are many wild birds where my chickens coop is. There is a tree above the coop and the wild birds can look down and come and mingle with my chickens. So I’m not sure how often I should be dusting to prevent an...

What form of permethrin has a longer lasting residual killing effect for mites and lice on chickens. The powder permethrin where you dust onto your birds or the concentrate you dilute in water and dip them into? I will have to be treating my animals more often as there are many wild birds. So...

Hi, is ivermectin safe for chickens to treat mites? I’m looking at the topical pour on cattle solution, a blue bottle on Amazon. I am also concerned about if it will burn the backs of their necks or if I can overdose them and they could die. Also the egg withdrawal time, it says seven days...

Hi, So the past week or several days or so I have found bites on my body which I am positive are poultry mites from my chickens. Dealt with mites before last year summer and got rid of em with permethrin powder but now they are back. The permethrin works but it is a hassle to apply to the...
