I purchased and just received in the mail 10 mL of elector PSP I'm going to soak them in it instead it's safe and supposed to work but if anybody else has any advice please let me know..

Unfortunately broken feathers won't grow back until they are molted out.. *sometimes* plucking will allow for regrowth. I would probably be too uncomfortable to pluck myself.

Ivermectin usually requires more than a single treatment. Hopefully the PSP will be effective for you.

Please describe feed routine including treats and supplements, as that will also influence feather condition and regrowth once it starts.

Although I do see what looks like nits.. is it possible some of the feather breakage and skin irritation is from scooting around?

Nits (if that's what I'm seeing) may not fall off on their own.. even once they're dead.

Well I soaked them in the PSP until there is early sold all but the very top of their heads I didn't want to get in their eyes or have them ingested in any way it's only been two days and they look better already she seems like she even has a little bit of fluff coming back to bald spots not much but a little but now when I got a flashlight inspected them closely it looks like there's fresh eggs on the shaft of the feather again I'm not sure if they're fresh or they're all but they're soft and they come right off the other ones I found were very hard to get off like glued to them that's why I'm asking if anyone knows if they be freshly eggs or old ones and they seem happier too but I believe they still have them I spray the entire area with the spray like I supposed to got rid of all bedding changed everything cleaned everything but it looks like they're full eggs again I don't know what to do. As far as feeding they have food at their will when they want to eat it they can like I said he can't see and she can't walk well at all so they basically just sit still but their food and water is fresh all the time of layer pellets cracked corn scratch grain for treats I have mealy worms grapes blueberries cucumber etc. as far as the eye for mechan I'm using it for about 2 months now and put it on them once a week I don't think you're supposed to put it on that often but I put a very little of time and like I said all the lice are gone and have stayed gone but it's these mites I cannot get rid of. Like they've built a tolerance of it already. Should I soak them with the PSP again being that they look like fresh in the eggs I'll attach pictures.
