My chicken Henny dosesnt look good. As you can see her back and bottom is slouching down. Usually she's noisy, can't stop moving and tries to run off when I catch her but she isn't talking, she won't move and she didn't even try to walk off.
I had checked to see if an egg is stuck but there's nothing there

Please help!

She does have mites but she has been treated.
 
That's fine it is labelled for lice and mites. I'm guessing you are in aus. You need to treat again 10 days after the initial treatment . Strip the coop bare and spray it down with something like ' coopex ' , available at most hardware stores. If one has mites they will all have mites so treat them all. There are other mitacides on the market if you don't see results from grays. Permethrin based are quite effective.
Mites and lice are quite different and lice are easier to eliminate but the second treatment is essential to get the hatching eggs.
