Chicken lice

[Crazyquaillad]

My mom brought home new birds and live spread like crazy. We’ve been using poultry protector on them but the eggs keep hatching… like the cycle of life… we ordered ivermectin cattle pour on. We’re curious as to when we do the second dose? Is it 14,21,30 days? I’ve also seen that you can’t eat the eggs for 14 days? Can anyone confirm or add suggestions! Thanks in advance (sorry I’m new to the community if there’s any extra info needed let me know

Hi! I've just found lice on my birds too, so I went through some saved old info and the solution to your problem is Elector PSP.

It's only sold officially in big, expensive bottles of concentrate, so what some people do is portion that out into 9ml bottles, enough to make a couple treatment sprayers of solution.
At the end of this page she sells the small bottles. https://the-chicken-chick.com/poultry-lice-and-mites-identification/

Not me, but I'm sure many other members have.
