Hello!
Very long story short I brought a new girl home who, despite my best efforts, managed to spread northern fowl mites all over my flock. Now my white polish crested is absolutely covered. She’s extremely lethargic, pale, weak, etc. I’ve looked through the other mite threads, but I’ve tried everything that I’ve seen.
I’ve put permethrin everywhere, cleaned the coops, treated everyone with Frontline per my vets recommendation, but these nasty things won’t die! My poor girl is not doing well, and I’m concerned she won’t make it through the night. I’ve given her nutri-drench, scrambled eggs, molasses for iron. Has anyone had any luck bathing a chicken to get rid of mites? Maybe tea tree oil or some sort of flea shampoo for dogs would help?
Any advice is much appreciated!
