Hey all,
I just noticed a few of my hens started showing some poultry lice symptoms and I wasn't sure what I should do for them since the drakes live right beside them and I read somewhere some of the treatments are potentially deadly to waterfowl. I don't want to harm the boys by putting something on the hens and also I wasn't sure if I needed to do anything for them concerning the lice (The ducks look fine so far and don't have any bald spots). This is my first time dealing with these things so I'm not really sure what path to take especially with the ducks. Thanks!
