    chicken with bald patch

    My girl Wanda has been missing this patch of neck feathers for over a month. I have checked my entire flock for mites/lice multiple times and don’t see any so I figured it was molting - they started growing back and I didn’t think much of it but the last week they’ve started to fall again and...

    Lice and a lethargic chicken

    Hi everyone, I noticed today that my top hen, the Queen Bee is isolating herself. She's eaten and had some treats and water but shes been staying in the same few spots all day, barely foraging. I'm redoing my coop now and cleaning, dusting to rid the bugs. I have been waiting for warmer weather...

    Missing feathers on chickens back

    Hey guys ! Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with my chickens? Almost all of them are missing feathers on their backs. It doesn't seem to be bothering them though. I've tried checking for mites or lice but don't see anything on them. I don't believe it's my rooster over mating as I...

    Feathered Feet Vs. Mites

    recently I took one of my girls to get checked out by the vet for leg mites. (Different girl than photo). The vet said that my hen did not have mites.... but the one I took in looks the best out of all of them. I didn’t press the matter because it is a new vet and she came out and stood in the...

    Lice, mites, dry skin, dark comb

    Hopefully these pictures will help someone help me figure out what is going on with this hen and what to do about it. She's about 5 yrs. old Layena layer pellets (not the Omega type which as I'm reading maybe would be a good idea?) Her comb and face are dark. I'm adding a picture of her...

    Lice (in Australia)

    Hi there everyone, I have a dual problem with lice on my chooks. I only have 2 now and one recently was found dead in her nest. It was quite sad as she was the loner out of the 3 and had a period of being broody. I'd just brought her out of that and all seemed to be going well. Then I found...

    Feral Goat Lice Treatment?

    I adopted an orphaned baby goat a little over one week ago, and lacking an outside companion for her, she is currently a “house goat” until we can transition her to living outside (hopefully with my mother’s pet sheep. I’m bottle feeding her and introducing her to a textured goat feed, alfalfa...

    Chicken Lice Eggs???

    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...

    Is Dectomax (doramectin) safe for Peafowl?

    Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot of old posts about treatment of lice and mites in peafowls with ivomec (ivermectin). I can't find ivermectin where I live, but I have Dectomax (doramectin), injectable 1%. Is it safe for peafowls to use doramectin instead of ivermectin? Any personal...

    Ok, I’ve had poultry for a few years now and this is the first time I’ve actually seen any poultry lice on my birds. I have been checking everyone over and some seem to have a few here and there, where others don’t appear to have any. I have only found eggs on one rooster so far. this may...

    Please Help, Sickly Chickens

    Today I picked up 6 pullets from a poultry supply store. It wasn’t ideal but I couldn’t find any local breeders this time of year. Upon inspecting them at home, I found poultry lice all over them and at least one of them was sneezing every minute or two. I’ve heard all chickens have a few lice...

    Rescued Duck Help

    We rescued these ducks from a laying farm, but now I am having a hard time with a few.

    I hate bugs!

    I know they are part of the food chain, but I just want them to stay far away from me. In Florida it was the giant flying cockroaches and huge spiders. If you have poultry, then you likely know about mites and lice. Mosquitoes and ticks are the ones that torment us most in VA. Tell me which...

    Poultry Lice Treatment Advice Needed

    Well, my chickens seem to have a bad case of poultry lice and possibly mites as it looked like there were 2 different bugs when I looked at a feather with my pocket microscope (super handy!!). They all seemed to mostly be at the shaft of the feather in between the barbs. They (23 chickens and 5...

    Carbaryl use??

    We’re having a terrible time with lice. I’ve tried DE; it didn’t do much. I’ve done a lot of reading on Sevin and get mixed answers so I have some questions! Is this the correct one? Has anyone used this before? I attached the active ingredients in both.

    Molting: What's Normal?

    My first flock of seven are about 18 months old, and at least three of them are going through a pretty hard molt. I was prepared for the feather loss and all, but I'm also noting some troubling behavioral changes that I'm not certain are a result of molting or something else. So, BYC'ers, please...

    Engaging in WWIII with Mites and Lice

    SOS! I've recently discovered my poor girls' coop is covered wall to wall with mites (or lice?) nests--gray dusty clusters. I had noticed signs that they might have an infestation, and discovered its extent upon treating with Permethrin 10. Because our coop is not a walk-in design, it's very...
