Phosphorus Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 didn't get to dust her with red mite or louse powder before she got the urge - I know I should have done. As far as last check Gemma had no little friends on her but I know she is susceptible now and has moved into now which might be more open to insects etc (as right on ground). Can I dust her with the louse powder now one evening when she is docile or should I just leave well alone now and pray. Putting hatching eggs under her tomorrow night hopefully. Will it hurt the eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I would dust her at night, as you suggest. It only takes a moment, especially if you use a puffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 When they are broody, it is even more important to dust them with powder, as they won't dust bath whilst incubating. A thorough squirt/puff should last a while. Good luck with the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Didn't get a chance last night as was out early and back late Could I dust her when I kick her out to eat poo and drink later...... just seems given I am going to be lifting her out anyway might as well do it then? We are out again tonight so tonight isn't really going to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
