Did this work for you? We got scaly left mites and used elector PSP and it did t appear to work. We ended up using a vegetable oil dip every other day for two weeks. That seemed to work but, just not sure how long before the scales will go back to normal.
Here is a couple pictures of my hens I am slightly concerned about. The sapphire gem is molting so her comb is not the prettiest. The other is my olive egger and she is not molting. She’s the one I am mostly concerned about. They are both acting normal otherwise.
