Lice and Mites - Pictures

Thank-You aart! I created a warm bath with permethrin (diluted) and have separated 6 of my girls into fresh quarters away from their coop. I am hoping to see results.

So you are saying the feather loss that is showing in the photo's I posted will not grow back until their molt (in this case this fall)??

Never have I had a mite problem and I would hate to think it was because of the move to the garage....it makes a fantastic winter spot with lighting insulation and space. It will be difficult to spray the entire garage-walls and ceiling as it is 14 feet high and ceiling of 20.

I would not treat for mites unless I saw clear evidence of them.
Use the product as directed or it may be ineffective or too concentrated.

Feathers can break off for many reasons,
unless a feather is fully plucked out of the follicle,
it will not grow out until a molt - which is usually in the fall.

Will a mite treatment kill lice too?? My chickens have got something but I'm still trying to work out if it is mites of lice. Not even had my birds a year yet so new to this. Will a mite treatment kill lice too??
