Lovemychooks Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Do you put red mite powder on the chickens or just in the house ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I put it on the chickens, under their wings and around their nether regions. It makes them smell lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychooks Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thanks Eglutine, I wasn't sure if it was a bit strong but if you are doing it to your chickens at least I know they are fine, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenzin Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I had red mite once and just kept putting it on the chickens and in there house non stop for 6 months , there a real sod to get rid of casue the red mite eggs can lay dormant " i believe 36 weeks and then hatch and run riot again .

Lovemychooks Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks tenzin, i've put in on the bedding and will give it a go on the chickens. Should be fun because 3 of them are very hard to grab hold of, I can see myself getting covered rather than them !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
