Yep.:thHowever, there's no wind and the sun's out here. It's nice enough most of the girls are outside dusting and running around. (I wouldn't be, but I'm happy they want to be.) :p
I notice you're being neighbourly and sharing your cold temps. :p :gig
I liked last week better, but at least it's not -35 C or something like that. :fl
Hi! Welcome to the thread! :frow
I use the Carbaryl dusting powder by Domvet. It's been extremely effective for me.
Our local Co op feed store carries DE as Michelle has mentioned in the post below.
So that's just for your chickens? That's really good to know, thank you.
For the cattle and sheep I'm aware there is the premise id "request" so far (we have both types of livestock) but I'm not aware of it being a requirement in either Saskatchewan or Manitoba. We have not filled out to...

We just warmed up to -3C today from -18C yesterday. Hope it stays...
That makes sense. I don't have any yet...but I'm always drawn in by the cool colors; black, white, blue and gray...lol. May I ask what breeds you have? It sounds very exciting if they're ones hard to find in Sask.

It's what I'm looking for...lol. Getting in more trouble.
Hi everyone!
