Locking Bar Eglu Classic

Hello Omleteers

 

To my horror I discovered we have a red mite infestation, the first time in many years of hen keeping. It has been so long since I used the Barrier powder that the label has fallen off! Can anyone give me a brief explanation of any precautions I should take when dusting the hens (e.g. am I to wear gloves, a mask, keep it away from their food and water, how often can I use it? etc). I can get some basic info online, so I know I need to dust them just before bed, but that's about it!

 

Thanking you in advance,

 

Jennie

Regarding dusting the birds ..... I read a great tip the other day. Cut the foot off a stocking, put the powder into the foot and tie up the other end then use it as a powder puff. I've tried it and it really is much easier to get the dust right down to the skin and all over the body using this method
