liceliceanother novice to chicken keeping. can any one recommend some thing to get rid of lice in my hybrid hens. having to keep them seperate because one is pecking out all the others feathers. they got on fine when we got them but one had less feathers and the minute they started growing the other one pecked them all out. have seen what looks lice wondered what was best way to treat her.
On another forum I am on, someone has suggested diatomaceous earth.
Apparently it is used a lot in the States and works on Red Mite and on lice, fleas etc. etc. I have looked on e bay but it expensive to post, from USA. Omlet sell it, I think it is £4.99 for 100 grams. Bit expensive. But I am waiting to see how well it works before investing my hard earned cash :mrgreen: Wendy http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning
