It's ground fossil shell and you just coat them with it. I would tell you to try 20 mule team but that's not food grade. Back to the DE you can put it in their food too to help with internal parasites.</P><P>If you are feeding chickens you use 2% of the weight of the food and stir it in (DE).Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:36:54 GMTcweickhttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic12064-7-1.aspxI wormed my goats in Aug.

Can you see the lice eggs on the hair like you can with humans?Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:48:24 GMTTheonahttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic12064-7-1.aspxProbably lice. Common problem during winter. You can use products like Ultra-Boss, or injectable Ivermectin(injected for lice, orally for worms in goats).Sat, 10 Oct 2009 14:24:17 GMTozark_jewelshttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic12064-7-1.aspxA lot of dewormers have anti-lice agents in them. Check your goat dewormer for this and maybe treat your goats. The reason I said maybe is because with sheep dewormer/lice killer you cannot give it to a pregnant sheep in the first stage of pregnancy...which my sheep are. So be wary of what part of the cycle they are in.Sat, 10 Oct 2009 03:12:09 GMTDrawbarhttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic12064-7-1.aspxI would be more suspicious of lice than fleas. There are several louse powders available that work quite well.Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:16:26 GMTSheriMhttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic12064-7-1.aspxMy goats spend a lot of time itching. Is it possible they have fleas? If they do, how do you get rid of them?Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:43:56 GMTTheona
