Help

Hi All
I have 4 hens all of which seem ok apart from the Warren who has been itchy of late, she hasn't laid an egg for over two weeks now and is only 5 months old. I have been checking her over but yesterday noticed that under both wings it looked matted though I couldn't find any signs of lice or mites, I dusted her with the Barrier Lice powder and red mite powder but feel this properly isn't going to be enough.

I have noticed that Frontline and Johnsons seem to be popular, is there an egg withdrawal period (assuming she starts laying again) with either of these products and how often would you use them? Also should I do all my hens even though they look clear of anything nasty?

Thank you for your help as I am lost in knowing what is best

I always wondered which Frontline you used, I'd never seen one for chooks in the chemist.(We can by Frontline in our pharmacies over here, saves going to the vets).

When you go to buy it best not to tell them you intend to use it for chooks as they may not sell it to you!
