    Lice

    I think my small flock has lice. I've treated, birds and coop and pen and given them a sand bath with some of that deciduous (sp?) earth stuff. Still scratching. I let them out in a large yard everyday. It's mowed grass/lawn but many wild birds congregate here. Must I treat that? How? It's huge...

    Hello! I have 6 hens about 10 months old. All are laying daily, but one hen, Lois, has been missing her neck feathers for about 1.5-2 months now.

    Royal Palm Tom Losing Chest Feathers

    I have a male Royal Palm turkey, and the other day we noticed he is losing all his chest feathers. The feathers are whole, which makes me think this isn't from lice, although he does have lice in his tail feathers. I sprayed the entire flock, all 8 turkeys and 30 chickens, with Permethrin the...
