I dont know. I was going to buy some

You are probably better off getting a product made for chickens. So sorry about your roo. How could you know? Too many other issues going on.

good morning all

Not sure how turning the clock BACK has made me even more tired. But seems to have done that.

I feel like hibernating. It looks nasty outside.

HE POOPED !!!!

First news of the day is good!

tolbunt is gone. body coated in tiny white looking bugs. Not a spot on him not coated . I dont need chickens

Sorry about that. The small white bugs are probably newly hatched mites. Remember all those mite eggs you saw? They must have hatched. They will flee a dead animal looking for fresh blood... take care of those babies so they don't get swarmed!

I probably ODed the roo

No, you didn't. He was just too far gone before you caught it. The shivering you saw... he was dying then. I've seen it before.

So, I don't think you have lice. They are lighter colored and larger than mites and the egg clusters are not as dirty looking as the mites. Besides, when you went out to check, all the crawling mites were gone after the Ivermectin treatment. I think the mites died and you are seeing a swarm of brand new, freshly hatched N Fowl mites. Kill them. 7 dust if you have some.
