Im not sure how it happened because im a slightly obsessive germaphobe chicken mom and i clean the coop daily but today i found chicken lice on several of my girls.
I noticed my salmon faverolle's mustache was missing some feathers which prompted me to further examine her and i found a few straw colored bugs on her which i then realized were lice.
Then i found them on a few other of my hens as well. I am legit freaking out. 3 years with chickens and ive never had this issue. I ordered the Elector PSP from velley vet about 30 secinds afyer i found them Lol
Heres my question: spray them or dip them in a bucket? I see different answers online. Also, what about chicks? I have grow outs and chicks in the same coop as my hens (its a 12' x 16' wooden storage building turned into a walk in coop), i assume i need to treat them too? Same dosage? Somebody more experienced please tell me what to do, my brain is mush right now and everything is itchy Lol
