Painting the top of the perches with insecticide mixed with oil is very effective against mites and lice.
(Oil so that it doesnt evaporate too quickly)

Hi TweeTea, non of that was an attack on any one and I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway, I was just as satay helped explain putting my opinion in and I fully understand that if a hen is barley conscious that you would take action and help ( hell I would to ).
I was just explaining that if you trust your hens more ( they are surprisingly tough birds ) that you will save your self worrying and a big water bill.lol. But yes there are exceptions like with your Australorp and I do hope she is alright and gets better and is enjoying her Aircon:cd ( lucky hen ).
Oh BTW it's RAINING here now.lol. Weather make up your mind.

Rain what's that? Please share lol

I don't have any insecticide so I was wondering if the spray would work instead of vegetable oil.

Vegetable oil would be better Luke.
