Welcome to BYC! Get some permethrin powder or spray and try that.

Welcome to BYC! When I used it on them it killed them and they eventually fell off. And yes, I put it on their faces, but was careful not to get it in their eyes.

Remove all the chicken from the coop and lock them out into the run. Clean out the entire coop, remove all the bedding and sweep out the cobwebs from the rafters. Wash it with a solution of equal water and vinegar. Wait until the coop is entirely dry. Dust the coop with the product of your choice. Some of these chemicals’ availability may vary from state to state. Follow all directions on the packaging and wear gloves. You can use ​

Poultry Protector.

Yes, but use it sparingly.

I've used everything under the sun and I can't get rid of the fleas. Hydrated lime seems to be the only thing I've had results with so far. Hundreds of dollars in
