Re: Lame chicken - advice please ?

> oiling their legs.

You know folks over the years that I have been following this group
I have noticed that this topic of leg mites is one that keeps coming
up on a regular basis.

Considering that all of my chicken comes conveniently frozen and
wrapped in a freezer pac you might find it a little strange that
I would offer advice or a helpful hint on a subject that
I know nothing about.....

But here goes anyways.

I seems that you regulars keep taking about rubbing in, or covering the
legs, with oils or substances that are dissolved in a liquid.

So do any of you use sprayers. Particularily those pressurized sprayers
you can buy for a few buckies at a garden centre.

Put in the solution, pump the sprayer up, maybe shake it to make sure
everything is mixed, grab the chicken and give their legs a spray.

I've never heard anyone in the group talk about using one, and I'm
under the impression that most of you are kinda rubbing the
medication into the legs by hand one way or another.

I appreciate that vaseline wouldn't work in one of these sprayers, but
anything else that is in a liquid form would.

Think of it as your helpful tidbit for the day.

It would be very fast, and within a few seconds the chicken would be
back on the ground and on it's merry way.
