Goodbye Ducks - Happy Ending

[Nebraskagirl]

Could it be mites? I've never had any pests on my fowl so I can't say from personal experience. If you really want to do the right thing you should try to catch them and find them a new home. It's not a matter of if they'll get eaten it's just a matter of when. Also you don't need a huge farm to raise ducks. I live in the city and have turkeys, ducks, geese, peafowl,etc. Yes it's harder to make space for pens when you don't have as much land to work with but it is possible.

I was thinking that. Emotionally it might be really hard to get close to them again, but knowing they are in some good hands will be easier on you in the long run.

Your cousin must have gotten them from a different source because lice are species specific meaning what will survive on a duck would easily starve on humans.

From RID site:

Can animals get/carry lice?

No. The types of lice that infect humans do not live on pets or other animals. There are other types of lice that live on animals, but these lice do not infect humans. If there is a concern that an animal may have lice, please refer to a vet for additional information. RID

is not approved for use on animals.

Humans can not get poultry lice. They probably have mites.
