bottles around the place still..

Ahh
For scaly mite its for the smearing on purposes - lots of
smearing on the legs.
The aim is to use something -- anything - that suffocates
the blighters and at the same time conditions the scales.
The best is the old version of dunking legs in jamjars of
white spirit which gets right up in under the scales and
kills the mites but does dry up the scales a bit more,
followed by lashings of vaseline over the legs which
continues to work on killing the mites and really softens
the scales.

i used baby oil with aloe vera. told the chooks it'd make
their legs sexy ;)
seriously though, it works really well & doesn't stink like
cod liver oil, which is useful because you're going to be
wearing more of it than the chooks...
