I currently have 3 adult hens and a few months ago I discovered that there were fleas or lice or other small parasites around their vent area. I had the chickens checked out by a vet, who gave me ivermectin to treat them for 6 weeks. I also dust them and their coop with DE quite regularly. But even after their treatment with ivomec, I still see some fleas on them (much better than before the treatment), and they have ragged frayed feathers and bald spots on their belly. How do I completely get rid of these parasites? Is there any way that I can encourage them to regrow feathers and make the feathers not fray? Thanks. I will attach a picture of one of my chickens back feathers which are all frayed. The other two hens are silkie chickens.
Thanks very much.
Thanks very much.
