I’m posting before and after pics. She’s one year old Orpington. I treated her with permethrin dust 4 days ago. also 2 days before that i used DE when I first saw lice. Same treatment on both chickens (I have 2 ) the other one looks fine. when I first saw her face looked dusty , the day after dusting with permethrin, I used VETRX on both chickens faces to gently wipe off the white powder from their beaks and eyes. now her face looks llike this, so I am using chamomile tea tonight on her eyes.
any advice ? something I should do or not do?
OOH my I just noticed it might be EYE LICE? what do I do now... Ive been reseaching all the treatments for lice/mites/worms/etc and I think I might get some ivermectin and use that instead of messing around with more permethrin ( 2 more doses I have to do,, or ,, not... if I switch to ivermectin?)
so there is the oral paste kind, or the pour on for cattle I can use drops on skin behind neck... would that hurt her if I get it tomorrow and use it instead of 2 more dustings permethrin?? help plz...
Hannah (the chicken) is otherwise energetic and eating and pooping fine, her diet is nutrena all flock, and crushed oyster shell on the side, plus organic scratch for a treat, lettuce/kale/other veggies occasional treats also. Oh and she steals mazuri waterfowl food from my ducks, we are working on that
