Ricky-N.p.p 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 i trust your doing your bit to control the local vermin population ? that'd be alot more help to the wild bird population than a dozen poults released ! Quote Link to post
Clancy 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Diatemacious Earth (Dirt) works really well to get the mites off of them as the poults will use it as a dust bath. It slices the little suckers to bits. This is nice if you need a more natural approach for continued mite control. Quote Link to post
