    Hello, how do I completely rid my chicken of lice and other pests?

    I currently have 3 adult hens and a few months ago I discovered that there were fleas or lice or other small parasites around their vent area. I had the chickens checked out by a vet, who gave me ivermectin to treat them for 6 weeks. I also dust them and their coop with DE quite regularly. But...

    Chicken missing feathers

    I have 3 hens, and one of them has feather loss on her chest/neck and belly. It doesn’t always look red, but sometimes it looks REAAAAALLY red. For example when i took the attatched photos, ten minutes earlier it wasn’t red at all, and then it looked like that. Ive wormed them and given them...

    Rooster isn’t responding to treatments

    We have a 7 year old giant white Cochin rooster named Hank. For about 12 months we have been struggling with him over-grooming and pulling out his feathers. A few of the hens had started pecking on him, especially on his feet and the tops of his wings. We initially thought the damage to the...

    Treating feather lice without permethrin

    Are there any treatments for feather lice that aren't permethrin-based? (Not including DE or other natural remedies.) I’ve tried permethrin and ivermectin and neither has worked. These are lice that feed on feathers, they don’t drink blood. I’m willing to bathe my birds in something if it will...

    Lice Infestation - Lots of Questions

    I noticed a couple days ago one of my hens has lice. I don't think the infestation is very bad right now, but I obviously want to completely eradicate them. I have so many questions, and I'm in a bit of a situation since I can't find any permethrin/pyrethrin spray or dust anywhere nearby. None...

    Mites and lice

    Ugh my chickens have had lice and mites for a couple months now. I knew they had mites, but always assumed they had very few since I rarely saw any on their face and head. Even when I parted the feathers on their crest. Tonight (past midnight) I was about to give one of my chicks (3 week old...
