It's concentrated, so be sure to follow the directions carefully.

Thank you so much! Could you actually give me the name of the one you've used? I just want to make sure I get it right because theres so many options when I google it. One last question, do you think it's safe to put her with the others? My mom doesn't want her in the house but i'm worried she'll get the others sick.

You're going to have to treat ALL of your chickens, so she should be ok with them.

But be sure to watch her. I'm worried that the fleas may not be the only problem.

my chickens have had stick-tight fleas for a while, she's got them pretty bad

she hadn't layed an egg yesterday or today and she usually lays once a day

Looked like she might have a bump under her head feathers

And yes she does have stick-tight fleas if you look at the image I attached in the beginning post.

I felt around, it didn't feel like there were any eggs in there. I think it's the bugs,

Get rid of the Stick Tight Fleas and offer her some poultry vitamins. See if she starts improving.
This tells you how to get rid of them. Treat all your birds. Their housing needs to be treated as well.

Did she lay an egg today? Any swelling of her abdomen?

No eggs/swelling, but she is probably stressed right now because she can't be with her flock. I've tried getting rid of the bugs, the flippin ground squirrels bring them right back. I'll treat everything again though. I'm happy to say she did have a lot of energy later today, and seemed better than earlier. She didn't seem to want water, so maybe that has to do with it too. Thank you so much.

Sounds like an on going battle.
Are the squirrels getting into their run?

You may need to apply some triple antibiotic ointment to her face after you get the fleas off, they are likely contributing to the swelling.

The vet came, she either has chlamydiosis or west Nile, hopefully the first. She layed an egg this morning, and yes they’re getting in the run They live there. Could you check my latest post too? Sh** is just getting worse around here. My quail is now injured badly

Do did the vet prescribe some antibiotics?

I replied to your Quail question too.
Sometimes it seems everything comes at once, hang in there
