Kit Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi I have agreed to take on my friend's 2 existing hens who have never free ranged and live in a cube at the bottom of their garden. To cut along story short what do I need to do to aid smooth introduction in terms of mites and other insects? I wormed them last week when I was looking after them whilst friends on holiday/ Is it enough to give them a Johnson's insect spray under their wings? I know that they have not been treated precautionary or otherwise for insects and mites before. One of the chickens has very red skin around her bum area, so I will give her a wash under her bottom but what do I treat it with? Sudocreme? Thank you Thanks Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I would isolate them for a week to be sure that they are not bringing illness to your existing flock, take the preventative measures you suggest ... and then follow the advice here.
