katiew7103 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I have just bought my Johnsons anti mite spray ( one with canary and budgie on front) dosn't say anything about use on chickens. How do I use it? Someone said something about back of neck, vent and under wings, also that I should discard eggs for 48 hours. Is this all correct.

Egluntyne Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Correct. It isn't licensed for use on poultry in UK, but is a pretty mainstream treatment for hens nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoura Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 seems such a shame just to bin the eggs---could one feed them back to the chooks as scrambled eggs for instance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Some do, but if the active ingredient is excreted in the eggs, and without adequate testing, we have no way of knowing, you would be giving them another, smaller dose, and causing it to stay in the system longer.
