They're probably from the wild rabbits that sneak in their outdoor enclosure
will that kind of lice still live on ducks?

is that safe for ducks?

I found a powder. does that work well? I am afraid they'll preen and swallow the powder. They go and swim in their pond too.

“Ivermectin is effective in controlling cecal worms along with some external parasites as well. There is a 14 day meat and egg withdrawal period for this product. For Ivermectin paste: .2 ml per pound of body weight. Dosed orally under the tongue for 3 to 5 days.”
