Chicken sweater

[MelissaR83]

There were 5 other chicks with her. I believe they would accept her back if it were just them but there are 2 full size chickens these were mixed with. We tried doing to no peck lotion without success. Her scab fell off the the wing along with some of the feathers. We have her inside by herself now. Shes eating, drinking and cheaping normally. Seems happier by herself. Heard to put in a mirror to help with possible loneliness. How do I prevent lice and mites if shes inside and doesnt have dirt available? Do I mix something for a dirt bath in a pan? If so...what?

By the way my inlaws are going to be keeping her for the winter inside then putting a coop outside for her in the spring.

She shouldn't get external parasites indoors. Generally they get them from other birds. So if she has none now she won't get them. You can give her a deep dish of construction sand to mess around in if you wish.
