Not exactly sick. When we moved, we inherited 7 birds (who are in quarantine) and they are infested with mites and maybe even lice. Previous owners thought they were healthy....

That's too bad. I hope they recover quickly!

I just stumbled upon this thread and you're very talented! Amazing drawings.
Sorry about your chickens! How are you treating them? I have some experience with mites, unfortunately.

Permethrin dust currently. Dusted them down to the pins of their feathers and letting them sleep in it. Will be washing them all soon (maybe tomorrow). I have a concert tomorrow, but if I make it home in time, I will wash all of them and deworm them with my sister. We don't have ivermectin, but will get hold of that if it gets worse. Fingers crossed!

Can you use diatomaceous earth in chickens? I know it works on goats. I think you could use it on hens, but I wanted to Make sure

DE is a waste of money. Doesn't work when wet and doesn't work on infestations. This case is an infestation. I knew something was wrong just by looking at her.
