For red mites, I found value in dusting perches and exposed framing with agricultural lime (Not Hydrated!). Its a few dollars for a fifty pound bag and it works great as a desiccant as well.

That's a great idea, I use ag lime to sprinkle on bedding in the coop but didn't think to use it on the perches. Thanks for the tip!

We built our chicken coop out of 2 cm thick plastic panels, which are very fire resistant and easy to clean. We bought it at a car showroom. I clean the chicken coop with vinegar, soap and water. No problem at all.

That's some good DIY thinking there. Plastic is a great material for keeping mites at bay. Thanks for sharing your idea!

Very Informational video! I use diatomaceous earth and natural wormers like papaya and garlic, but I think I need to worm my chickens atleast once a year with something a little stronger. Thank You for sharing!

Sounds like a good idea, natural prevention is great but not always enough. Thanks for watching!

I almost forgot to ask,what is the withdrawal period for eating the eggs after treatments with each wormer?

Levamisole is 7 days, ivermectin is 7-10 days depending on who you ask, and flubenol has a zero withholding period. I personally don't bother, we keep eating the eggs no matter which dewormer I've used. The amount of the drug that makes it into an egg is so tiny, and deworming drugs are not particularly harmful to humans or animals, especially in a chicken-dose amount.
