Lice.

I have a lice issue with my birds. I'm treating with permethrin dust.

I agree lice. I would also treat with permethrin. You can use poultry dust but I would use the spray. You can get the concentrate you mix with water or get the premixed. Spray weekly for 3 or 4 weeks as it does not kill the lice eggs so repeated weekly treatments are needed. I do put the poultry dust in the nest boxes. Good luck...

If you want to bathe your birds, every over-the-counter (OTC) treatment for head lice contains either pyrethrins (Rid or Triple X) or permethrin (Nix). They are effective treatment. They only kill live pests, not the pests eggs. Again, good luck...

Have you done egg withdrawal after those treatments? Or eaten the eggs
