Hi, i have a 6 day old Serama chick with so many tiny bugs. This is my first time dealing with this since i just started raising chickens last year. I did not realize the parents of the chick were infested with these bugs until the chick hatched, which i also did not know was going to happen until i heard little chirps. I took it away from the mom and put it in a brooder to prevent it from getting infested like the mom, but i’m noticing that it is getting worse for both sides. What can i do to help the chick since it’s very tiny and young? And what should i do for the parents?
*I just bought poultry dust that has permethrin, how can i use it? What are other great fast working products?
Another issue: the chick had a sibling a day after it was born and i put them together in their brooder but then it passed away suddenly 3 days later, so now it’s lonely. I tried to reunite it with its mom but she pecked at it. What can i do to help it feel comforted and not so lonely?
