Thanks for the info. I actually lost 3 birds to the infestation. I am a relatively new owner and the last time they got mites they lost a lot of feathers. This time none. I will be more aware now about their behavior etc. Definitely a lesson learned.

I actually cleaned out the boxes and used DE and sprayed with cedarcide because I didnt have the permethrin yet. I will spray with that this weekend.

I have treated my birds with permethrin. Do I need a repeat a week later or when?

I am a new backyard chicken owner. I have lost 3 chickens in the last three weeks to an infestation of mites. I sprayed my remaining hens with poultry protector and dusted their run and coop with diatomaceous earth. I’m hoping I can save the rest. Anyone have suggestions or have also lost hens...
