HELP! AYAM CEMANI MAY HAVE MITES!! WHAT CAN I DO?

[Tookie]

The ayam cemani passed right now. I’m devastated. Thank you for your support! What can I do to help my silkies?

I think I realized late for the ayam, she passed 1 minute ago.

I'm so sorry she passed.

Can humans get mites? I see them crawling on me.

Humans cannot get chicken mites.

How many other chickens do you have?
For treatment get permethrin poultry dust, dust them down and rub it into their skin, all over them.
Get some Nutri-Drench too, it has lots of nutrition. Give them some directly to help prevent them from getting lethargic. Until you get the Nutri-Drench give them some gatorade.
Put some garlic cloves and ACV in their water too. 1 garlic clove per gallon and 1 tablespoon of ACV per gallon.
You need to clean out their coop and spray it down with permethrin, here's a link to dilution.->

BTW, the bug in the picture is Lice not mites.

And sorry you got to her too late. Use permethrin on your remaining chickens. You will need to throw out there bedding and treat there space with permethrin spray. And clean there space.

Sorry for your loss.

I agree, use Permethrin on the birds and treat their housing. Clean the housing out and dispose of the bedding. Make sure the treat nesting boxes and roosting bars.

Fresh feed, fresh clean water. Provide grit (crushed granite) and oyster shell free choice.

The feed store doesn’t have permethrin. Will my silkies be fine for a couple days? I don’t know where else to find it. What can I use in the meantime?

Also, can my cats get the lice?

Can the lice live inside the house? I can feel them crawling on me, and I’m scared my house will be infested.

They can wait, keep an eye on them though.
Do they have a dust bath area? Try rubbing dirt into their feathers and skin.

Cats should not get the lice.

Your house will not get infested, these are chicken lice so they cannot live on humans and in the house.
