You can use the Ivermec pour-on at any time. Since you are only going to give the antibiotic for three to five days the lice can wait that long if you have concerns.

unfortunately my concerns for respiratory I missed the mites until the feathers were coming out and now I noticed several have lost weight more than likely due to blood loss they are weaker now too I medicated with ivermec by mouth on the 2 sickest and placed them alone also I have placed a gallon of fresh water with poly vi sol and electrolyte s that I used on them as chicks hoping to make them stronger they were already on probiotics I am very worried thank everyone for your inputs I still have not found a local vet or avarian to help

I have good news for you, there are no blood-sucking lice on peafowl although there are feather mites, the large mites only roam on the birds at night while roosting.

are they treated the same as lice

I read the insert so the Pyrethrin spray I used today should do it I had already dusted last week with no response my concern is how skinny they were when I held onto them and they are being picked on by the healthy ones

Can you weigh them then let us know age, weight, and sex.

If the dusts do not get under the feathers and onto the skin it will not be very effective.
