My pet rooster Rex has been pecking at himself a lot lately...What is the best all round cure for bugs and itchy chickens?

Don't use sevin dust like some people do..ick..I use food grade DE in the nestboxes and in a special dusting box in the henhouse for that..

I have always put a pile of woodstove ash out for my chickens, they love to bathe in it and it kills all the little bugs they may get, and its non-toxic.

Try dusting with food grade diatomaeous earth, or sprinking some where they scratch.

Is he picking at his feathers or is it mainly his legs? If it's his legs, it could be Giardia. Hope he feels better soon--poor 'roo.
