Could use some advice

[TherryChicken]

My birds have allergies, buy some are getting really bad. Only issue is some have newly hatched chicks at their side. Is it still safe to treat them as if they have URI? Also I went to remove the empty egg out from under the hen and there were a ton of ants. So I picked up the eggs and the chick, then her, and placed them up off the ground. Is it safe to use 7 dust even with the newly hatched babies?
Thank you all!

I hope this helps with the sevin question: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/721388/is-sevin-dust-really-safe-for-chickens-permethrin-and-de
If you offer a box of dust to bathe in they may get many of the ants off naturally.

What do they have allergies too? Are they entering molt?

We have alot of allergies here, not 1 specific thing. Just causes alot of sneezing. There are ants all in their coop too. I need them out. N I need the nasty sneezing to stop.

And no they aren't molting

My chickens sneeze, but their nostrils are clear and breathing is silent. If your chickens seem to be having sinus troubles, it may be the dust (I know it makes me sneeze

) or allergies, but it may also be a virus. Do they have mucus coming out of their nose?

I know, but it has escalated into gurglyness. Nothing coming from nose, but has gurgling

I know what to do, but is it safe to treat them with newly hatched chicks? Also is 7 dust safe around newly hatched chicks?

Congestion may be the better word to use lol

Thank you, but lice and mites aren't the issue. There are a ton of ants around and in their coop and want to know if it's safe around newly hatched chicks
