Apps sorry to hear she is worse. I hope you get some answers soon.

Thank

Oh and while we were waiting in the surgery a lice ran off her over the table. I had just assumed it was mites like last time but he did say lousey. Wouldn't you think the ivermectin dose Friday should have got them by now?

Appps, I am sorry to hear about tuppence. Hope she gets better soon.

Well I went down tonight to put the flock away and much to my surprise I found miss duck in the chicken roost, I was so happy she made it their all by her self. I was having to catch her every night and put her in there, which she really didn't like.

Some say it is apps but a lot I have heard say it doesn't work well. Get some pestene powder and use that on her.

Not for a while but I did read a fair bit of it a while ago,

I have something called David grays poultry powder but used that in their nest box and they still got mites so think ill go look for the pestene powder.

Only thing worries me is using a powder while she has this breathing problem?

I also have fido's flea and tick spray so trying to decide if I powder or spray.

On a positive we can't hear her breathing so far this morning which is an improvement on yesterday when I could hear her up in the coop breathing from our house 100m away.

I'm starting to suspect after much googling it could be the shavings they are sleeping on in their temporary converted vanity at night. They have been sneezing since I first put them outside in it and the older ones who roost but are with them haven't caught it.
Pulled it all out last night before locking them in so will see if the other sneezers stop today.

if you have the tick and flea spray already I would just use that then.

Apps. Sorry to her about your girls.

At least in winter it should be easier to rid the lice/mites/and flees

Hope things improve rapidly
