    At a complete loss, odd illness!

    Apologise, I didn't realise i had replies, It's definitely lice, that i am finally getting on top of having had to resort to using Ivermectin.

    At a complete loss, odd illness!

    Luckily i'm having the test done for free as i'm doing the lab a favour by handing my bird in. My vet found out about it.

    This hen is driving me nuts

    Do you only have hens? My husband says sometime hens and become cockerely is there isn't one already.. don't know how true that is but one of his mums hens crows similarly to this and they don't have a cockerel.. My husband might have been having me on though!

    UK LICE HELP!

    Where did you get the Permethrin and do you administer directly onto your birds? A lot of the American posters use Permethrin spray but i can't find it online at all!

    UK LICE HELP!

    I did the same thing with my Husband, and we have concluded the cause could have been wild birds, I hd a wild bird feeder just outside of my chicken run and have seen pigeons milling around. I've cleared away the bird feeder and my chicken feeders pest proof but I just get on top of the lice. I...
