My sisters chicks in the brooder house have got a HORRIBLE lice/mite infestation & we just moved the biggest ones in with the big hens & ducks.

Can my Muscovies get the bugs too??

I fully plan on going and buying some lice & mite dust tomorrow morning but the babies all got dusted with DE for tonight...


My birds have NEVER had BUGS!!!

I fixed the post. I didn't mean to make it look like yelling. But i am really, really mad at her still.

Just in case, I am going to get some Ivermectin from a friend and treat everyone.

I read online that lice/mites only affect the head & neck area of ducks & if they're otherwise healthy they can control the bugs on their own. Still going to treat though.
