Bugs on my chicken

[Bullet]

Hi everyone, I bought a bantam rooster today at a small animal swap meet and while were bringing him home I noticed a little bug on me it looked whitish yellow. my husband got some on him too. what is this bug and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks

it is a louse
take and issolate the new chicken from the other chickens
and dust him very good with Sevin5% dust and do this for three days this week
the extra sevin dust needs put in the beding where he sleeps
generally a cup so that the louse's do not live and breed behind the wood in your chicken house

feed him some
wet mash probiotic
3 tbsp of dry crumbles
6 tbsp of milk any kind
1 tbsp of yoguart
and mix good and see he eats it 20-30 minutes and then clean up the wet feeder and restock the dry crumbles
