lice

Hi all! Looking for advice on continuing treatment for lice. Just over a week ago I did a thorough spray of permethrin spray which the bottle said was 1% permetherin so i did a 1:1 with water. I need to go ahead a do a follow up spray however the last 3 days and the next week or so we have a...

Well I couldn't find a Bumble and so I'm looking for help with that buttt, when I was drying her I found Mites or lice I'm...

I have used the permethrin 10 spray on my henhouse and hens last summer, to kick a bad bout of mites/lice. It worked great, and my hens feathers came back😀 However, I noticed a few broken feathers on a hen….That is what I saw previously, before recognizing a pest at work. So, to be proactive, I...

I treated 13 hens, cleaned & treated coop WELL (crevices, etc) for possible mites or lice. Can’t confirm. Used permethrin. Followed again about 2 weeks later. Since then I’ve cleaned and treated coop and run again. Have 7 2 yr olds rest 5 years. All were laying. still no eggs. Inspected each...

I haven’t started raising chickens yet, but was so excited about it until I read about lice. Now I’ve scrapped my plans for raising them. My coop was my grandmas so it’s ok’d with lots of nooks and crannies. When I read about having to treat in all those places I almost cried. How does everybody...

I found eye lice on my pullet. It looks like she has it pretty bad. I have permethrin dust. I'm going to check all the other birds and clean out the coop. How should I put on the dust without getting it in her eyes?

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...

Help ..I gave my chickens wazine for worms about 10 days ago. I just notice a bunch of lice on my rooster crawling on his tail feathers. Is it safe to put ivermec on them??

On several occasions now I’ve spotted a bug of some sort scampering between my hen’s feathers! It’s larger than what I would expect any kind of mite to be - about the length of a fingernail. It was dark coloured. And it was FAST. Zoomed away when I tried to flick it off. I’ve not seen any on my...

I went to my coop to take a out the eggs and saw little crawlies all over them… it’s the first time I’ve noticed this… I’ve got around 30 birds and I’m honestly at a loss. I don’t know what to do and I’m not even sure if that’s what I saw. But after some research that’s what it looks like. I’m...

Hi all! I’m a long time lurker, and I know there are lots of similar posts but I haven’t seen any that *quite* match my situation. Please bear with me if I give too much information! I recently had a young chick pass away. She’s not the first to die, it happens once in a while, but I’d brought...

Hello everyone, My girlfriend and I have a small flock up in the mountains of Colorado and have a hen with a very interesting problem. We added two laced Wyandotte’s to our flock last year and they’ve been good producers, but not super friendly towards us (which is fine). When they first came...

So It's been a few months since my other post. My chickens got infested with lice at the beginning of summer and I had to treat my whole flock for it. When that happened I had noticed their backs were bare. At that time I had 5 hens and 2 roosters (one rooster grew up and didn't know it was a...

So I found out that my rooster had lice so I've been treating him, the coop, and the rest of the flock just in case. I've been using manna pro poultry protector, a home made spray, and sprinkled some diatomaceous earth everywhere. I have only seen lice on him but I'm still treating everyone just...

A little back story first: New to chicken keeping; got our flock of four 5-6mo old pullets in April. About a month ago, I brought one of my hens (Tina) inside because she was keeping one eye closed and isolating herself. It was a little crusty and cloudy so flushed her eye with saline and...

Please help. I don’t know what I’m dealing with. She is the oldest chicken I have and she has had eye problems for the last 3 days. I started antibiotic ointment for her eye today. But I’d like to know what I’m working with. No other symptoms of any illness or anything. Eating fine, active, and...

Hi! I recently discovered a lice problem on my chickens and I’ve been trying to figure a way to treat it but it seems all my chickens are molting. They have all the signs and I would like to treat them for the lice but I’m not sure how to do it without hurting/stressing them. They have been dust...

Hello friends, I have 3 barred rocks and a brahma that free range in our little spot in the woods. Our hens were gifted to us in January. We recently discovered a lice infection. We treated the hens and the coop with Permectrin II. We followed the dilution ratios on the Permectrin II bottle to...
