HELP-LICE!!

[DawnBryant75]

I have a 3 week old white crested polish baby. I just did my daily look over and saw bugs. After a quick google I have come up with lice and how to clean the brooder. How do I treat my baby?!??

Lice is hard to get rid of.
You're going to need to treat the birds and their environment weekly actually every 5 days for a while.

Get this or something similar:

Permethrin.
