Feather lice

[mrbstephens]

What can I use for feather lice that's safe? I feed with organic feed and prefer to not give my chickens chemicals. I use DE in their hen house, but they're definitely showing signs feather lice damage. Thanks!

Is this safe to use? Prozap

Poultry & Garden Dust
It says it's 25% permethrin. What's the other 75% made up of? Is it safe to eat the eggs during treatment?

Sevin dust will kill them in a heartbeat. Redust in 10 days. Sevin dust is safe for this purpose and you can eat the eggs after use.
