Geese has mites

[Goose_Goose]

Urgent!
I have a gander that is 1 year old and I believe he has mites. His feathers are damaged. What can I use to treat this. I'm worried about him. Please help.

Waterfowl don't generally suffer from external parasites unless they are kept in unsanitary conditions, so did you actually see the mites on the goose? Could you post a picture of his damaged feathers?

Here's some pictures. Could he just be molting?

Can you check around his vent, wings, neck, for any signs of mites/lice? Also how often is the goose able to bathe?

I allow them to free range all day and they have a pool for them to use. It is cleaned everyday.

You're not answering my other question, that I have aksed twice.

It looks like molting but I would check for lice and ticks

Sorry. I have not checked yet, but I will now. He is a bit difficult.
