Question 1

How do i apply it for scaly leg mites?

Accepted Answer

For leg mites on chickens, we use vaseline petroleum jelly and for our chickens who have persistent mites we use Vicks brand. After 2 or three treatments you should notice an improvement. Also, cover their legs thoroughly but not do not over do it. Our chickens have never been affected negatively in any way. Only 3 of our chickens have had trouble with mites and they are all our Bantams that we purchased already grown. Vaseline is safe for animals and we give it to our dogs from time to time to help clear hairballs from their throats. We add the VetRx to our chickens water and as the bottle says, it is safe for daily use as a preventative. We had a couple of our chickens we had to isolate with coughs and after a week they got better! The VetRx is a completely natural product derived from healthful plants and can be used both internally and externally and is formulated for chickens, geese and ducks. We keep this in our stock for our 30 chickens as well as other vital health products. Also, I recommend diatomaceous earth can be used to preventand kill these pest from your flock. Place a good amount in areas where your flock likes to dust themselves and leave some in trays. You can shake this over them to dust it directly onto them and also around their bedding as a safe way to kill mites before they get onto your chickens, ducks or turkeys.

Question 2

How much do you use per chicken?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what you are using it for.  A drop in the nose for a few days should help with minor respiratory issues like sneezing or you could put a couple drops into the birds water to help with just about everything else (mites, etc).  Also, if you find giving nasal drops a problem you can always put a drop or two under the wing.  I'm not a vet or a poultry expert by any means but been raising and doctoring chickens for years.  Good luck!  Janice
