Our silkie rooster has been looking pretty sad lately, feather loss and broken feathers. He has lost feathers right above his tail feathers as well as some near his wings. I assumed that he was just molting until it dawned on me today that maybe it could be lice. What do you guys think? I didn’t...
Today I have discovered lice in 2 of my poor hens eating them alive and laying their eggs on their feathers what is the best natural way to put on them like something made from nature? I stopped spreading powder such as Diatomaceous Earth on them kept getting in my eyes and they struggle from my...
Hello,
I treated my chickens for lice about 4 weeks ago. I used the strong 1 time treatment stuff. Nothing is crawling on them, some of the eggs are still attached to the feathers, but i check thoroughly and no mites are crawling around on any of my hens. Do those feathers that are covered in...
Yesterday at my weekly cleaning I did my check over my chickens and notice my chickens have lice. I gave them a bath yesterday to help sooth in the meantime before I can get anything for treatment.
I’m going to pickup a dust bath from my local feed store, and just ordered permethrin (liquid)...
For the past half a year my sweet crossbeak girl was struggling with chicken lice, we tried many things to treat her and nothing worked until some prescribed imvermectin spray a month or 2 ago! We've had no more signs of live lice on her but there are some very stubborn lice egg clumps in her...
I had a pullet (4+ month) orpington pass today and I don't know why. This is my first round of chickens and she was one of my favorites.
She was lethargic yesterday but seemed to be eating/drinking. Today she was also lethargic and breathing heavy. I tried to give her nutridrench, but she...
Found these eggs cemented on the base of my chickens feathers. My mom says they are fly eggs but I looked at pictures of lice eggs and I think they resemble them. Does anyone know what these are, and how I deal with them? I cut out the big chunks of them and dusted her with Diatomaceous Earth. I...
I have treated with Elector PSP for lice (please leave off your comments about elector psp not being labeled for use on lice, thanks) and I see zero live lice but there are still eggs at the base of the feathers.
When will those fall off? Do I need to treat again? Feeling very paranoid about...
Hello!
I have a show coming up in 2 weeks (first one in over a year) That I am really excited for! Except, my birds have lice :barnie I have silkies. I see some adult lice in the feathers on the body of my birds, and they have a lot of nits in their beards that I can't get off. I don't see any...
Hello all! I have an angel of a silkie named Ruth and she has had issues with lice this past Summer. I check her regularly to see if they are crawling around on her because I can see them pretty well even if they're tiny. I haven’t seen any on her for weeks, but there are definitely still eggs...
I was wondering how many mL of nutri-drench to give my 3 month old silkie chick. Her wry neck has been getting worse, though she only seems uncomfortable when getting ready to sleep. She is a little over a pound.
Also, does anyone have some tips on how to get rid of lice snd their egg sacs...
I was given my sisters birds after her neighbor complained about them...
Of her birds there are 2, 3 year old (langshan)hens, and 2, 2 year old (brahma) hens, as well as some less than one year old bantams and marans hens.
The langshan hens are just finishing a very hard molt and seem to be...
