Title: egg withdrawl
Post by: in the hills on March 20, 2012, 07:39:47 pm

I have just used Deosect on my hens to get rid of a lice infestation. I t was given to me by my vet after I had tried varoius other powders that are on the market with no real success.

Has anyone else used this on their poultry? Can anyone clarify the egg withdrawl period?

Yes, thanks little blue, I didnt find that when I looked.

Didnt like using a chemical on the poor loves and didnt like the thought of binning so many eggs. Seems such waste.
