I'm really sorry to read about Cupcake. :hugs

This product and Permethrin II have the same amount of permethrin (10%) in them so your dosage was correct; however, Permethrin II is nearly half the cost. I wouldn't switch now as I know you have limited resources, but the next time you get a mite product, just get the permethrin/garden dust. The vast majority of folks here use that on their coop and dust their chickens. Then do that again in 10 days, and mites are gone.

Why this didn't help Cupcake's mites is a mystery. You may need to clean out the entire coop, get the chickens out it, and spray it well, then let it dry before putting new bedding back in there, and treat the chickens before you let them back in there. Be sure to be getting under their wings and vent too. The whole chicken needs to be treated. You've most likely got a source in your coop/run where those mites are living and breeding.

That may be. Though with Cupcake, I moved her to a different enclosure (the 'infirmary' that we have). In there, I sprayed it down, put some diatomaceous earth (we have some lying around, which I strongly dislike diatomaceous earth since it can irritate their respiratory systems, but I thought I'd give it a shot), then I heavily sprayed her down with the Permectrin.

The rest of my chickens have very few/no mites from what I've noticed. But I'm sure there's still some in the coop.

We've used food-grade diatomaceous earth as a prevention for over 20 years. If used properly, it's fine and does its job, but I'd not buy it for an infestation. You need the permethrin or something else.

Any additional results from the lab work? Did they rule out Marek's?

I haven’t gotten all the results back from the histopathology, but I’ll try to remember to call again tomorrow, but when I last talked to him he thought it was likely just atherosclerosis (which I’ve never heard of in chickens) but didn’t see any prominent signs of Mareks
