well I put it on twice without a thickener because no one answered this thread. Not sure I should treat them a 3rd time.

There's a great (free) e-book put out by the World Health Organization specifically about poultry parasites, including how to figure out what you're dealing with using tabletop techniques (i.e., what you have around, plus a cheap microscope): http://www.smallstock.info/reference/KVLDK/Poultry_Parasites.pdf ; it (unsurprisingly) tells smallholders to rotate the -zoles and piperazine, which is exactly what most on this board will recommend.

I've got bare necks on 3 birds that moved into the pen formerly used by my goat on the lot, 2 of those birds came from another flock. Using the ivermectin on skin other wing reduced some of the inflamed look of the bare skin, but not sure if feathers are growing back. I can't see anything on the birds that looks like mites, but the 3rd bird came from my back yard flock when she got broody and when she got it, I assumed something contagious. I have since added my 2 oldest birds from the back yard, on the 9th, and they do not yet have bare necks.
I have done sevin dust in nest boxes and corners of coop, (I keep bees, NOT doing the dirt in the run), ashes in the dirt in the run, and ivermectin under wing. I also wormed them with wazine on the 9th since eggs are scarce right now.
Suggestions?
I tried Orange Guard mites in my coop, but it didn't help.
