Start Early Mite Control for Poultry Flocks
Mite control should begin now to prevent a general infestation. Eggs laid last fall will hatch as warm weather returns, so treat hiding places around nests and roosts with creosolic acid or creosotis and used oil to draw mites out. Do not spray interior walls due to odor and risk to eggs and birds. Lice reduce egg production and threaten young stock. dipping hens with 1 pound sodium fluoride per 16 gallons of water on a warm day is advised.
