I don't think it's rodents, although anything's possible. These feathers came directly off of the birds lol. Like I said earlier, I know there is the presence of some type of lice, the light brown bug that will get on me sometimes. But it's not what you would call an infestation like what some other folks have talked about, and certainly not to the point of losing birds. But the little pests are on some of my birds and eating their feathers, they get on me, may be affecting egg production, and I need to do something about it.
I wonder if the permethrin 10 could be put on their skin in drops like the ivomec. I've been spraying them and the roost, but I think I diluted it too much because it's not working!!
I also read somewhere about coating the roost with NuStock. I have a big roost. (see below) It might be worth a try though. I'm willing to try just about anything at this point. I just don't want to hurt my chickens.
