I cannot imagine putting a chemical on my chicks??!! Diorama crocus earth is prob cheaper too! Anything you can't put on yourself you shouldn't put on them.
A body cream that uses a 5% concentration of the insecticide permethian is sold over the counter to kill the tiny mites that causes scabies in humans. Do you mean to tell us that you would slather this body cream all over your birds to kill mites and lice?
