Ear infection??

[ArnoldoOfferman]

Are you referring to the DE dust?

If so..return it..it is trash.

I would use the spray for everything.
You can spray some on your hand and rub it on the areas close to their face.

No.. I bought Poultry dust with Permethrin. Should I just return that too? Sounds like using the liquid would be easier.

I am not a fan of any dust so I would say return it too.

The spray is just so much easier, imo.

Yes you do dilute the Gordon's
Look at the amounts here:
#296

good thing you are here! i've never seen that kind!!

Unfortunately she just passed away. Can they die from this?

 

[Kiki]

Yes....lice and mites can suck the life right out of them.
I am sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately she just passed away. Can they die from this?

so sorry, yes depending on how long they have had them and how bad the infestation

Oh so sorry to hear that. Maybe the stress or possibly holding her too tight to restrict her breathing? You are really trying very hard and giving it your best.

 

[ArnoldoOfferman]

She was active recently too.

She's definitely not our first chicken... we have 24, but this is the first case of mites!

 

[Kiki]

Mites kill.
Get the coop and hens treated asap.

We had 'em quarantined, thank God. However we did try to introduce them to the flock a few days back, so we're going to check immediately
