I've ordered it from Amazon before with no issues - looks like this one will ship to Canada: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007TA5QNA/
You know how pets can get flea dips and they turn out okay? Turns out, chickens can too - you just have to make it yourself. When it comes to mites, lice, and all sorts of nasties, permethrin straight-up wrecks them. Normally on forums I've always seen people mentioning permethrin powder, but liquid stuff works REALLY well, especially as you can make it so the dip is a bit more concentrated than normal. Not too concentrated though, as that can be dangerous!
Wear gloves+goggles (seriously, do it) and dilute the permethrin to what the instructions say in a fairly large plastic tub or box, whatever could fit an angry chicken. Make sure that there is enough in there so that the liquid dip reaches up to the bottom of the chicken, but make sure the liquid level is not so high as a chicken could potentially drown or injure him/herself.
Then, after you set it up, it's time to dip your first chicken. Plop the confused bird in there and gently massage it's scaley-leg infested legs a bit. Then, lift him/her up and apply vaseline. This serves two purposes: it locks the permethrin in so it doesn't come off AND it helps suffocate the mites. Make sure to give the chicken a nice long foot/leg massage that includes lots and lots of gloopy vaseline. Seriously, if you think you added enough, add a bit more.
After this, the chicken will likely be confused as to why it got a sudden and probably unwanted spa service, but it's for the best! Just let her run around, she might stand still for a bit before doing this though she probably has never been dipped and massaged before- no worries, it's normal.
Repeat this for every chicken, and maybe do it again in ten or so days, just to make sure no mites escaped your wrath. You should see clear, mite-less legs in no time. :)
Nice one, thanks. I found an 8 oz. bottle of Permethrin 10% on Amazon for ten bucks.
