Control of Chicken Pests and Lice Treatments
A study of chicken lice shows a dozen types infesting birds with moisture needs driving their location near the vent. Blue ointment applied around the vent and under wings, melted to a thin layer, can quickly reduce infestations, with a second application after two weeks. Other options include lice powders, dust wallows, and sodium fluoride applied via the pinch method on tail, wings, back, and neck.
Regularity in feeding for profitable fowls
Regularity in feeding is a key to success with fowls. The tamer the flocks, the more valuable they become. Separate the chicks at eight weeks, or as near as possible, since sexing is difficult. Do not expect hatchability above 75 percent in any incubator or under hens. Sell or eat surplus before starting red heat delts. Move brooders to fresh ground before chicks are released. Incubators are essential and economical when early chicks are needed.
