    Well, that's some story fella. I don't know how I would handle that situation, you did well :-). I hope he has a full recovery, and you get back hunting. All the very best :-)

    What do you folks use as a wormer? Someone recommend Flubenvent to me. It's basically layers pellets with the treatment added, and fed for 5 days straight, and then 3 wks after. It has to be prescribed by the merchant when you order. I have used it, and think it's ok. What's everyone else's preference? Atb

    Horrible Bob that :-). Few lessons learned by us all after time eh. They key is, not to give them hiding places. Any new housing I make are sealed with silicone. Plastic nest boxes etc. Spray the housing regular, making sure you get any new hatching out. I think it's a case of control, as opposed to eliminate.

I am going to make some dust baths out of used cattle mineral lick tubs, and add some fine silver sand, and wood ash + powder., cover in bad weath

Check out there sleeping quarters at night with a torch, see if you can see the little buggers crawling about on the bird's. Make sure if your bird's don't have access to a dust bath, you provide them one, or dust each bird individually. Spray out the living quarters regularly. If you do have an infestation, any shavings cleaned out, burn if you can. They like dark cracks to live in and moist, powder these areas, a
