[COLOR=333333] [/COLOR]I am battling lice in 2 of my chickens ( 1 roo & 1 pullet).  I moved them out of the coop they were in.  I've treated both of them with dog tick & flea drops ( like Hartz Ultra guard). Waited a week, cleaned out the litter of the aquarium (55 gallon) they are in & replaced it with new litter.  Gave them each a bath with dog flea & tick shampoo.  Put more drops on their skin.  I plan to retreat in another week as well.  My question is: How can you tell live nits from old nits (eggs) still attached to the feather shafts?  The roo has some but the pullet has tons.  I have never seen an actual louse on either of them.  Should I change out the litter they are living in more often than once a week?  They both got moved inside because the roo got really bad frostbite because the trap blew off the coop one night when it was super windy & super cold.  That's when I discovered the lice.  I was checking them over because I was going to move them into a more sheltered coop with some other chickens, but once I saw the nits & knew I couldn't put them with other birds as that would just spread the problem.  None of the birds in the other 4 coops have any lice or nits.

Long question made short, how do I know when they have been successfully treated & are good to be around other chickens?  Nothing I have read has mentioned that.  Everything just says to make sure I treat them twice & that it is a week apart to kill newly hatching lice.  I also read that the coop needs to sit empty for at least 3 weeks.  I've also spread poultry dust around the coop to help get rid of any left behind.

Thanks for any advice/ help you can give me.

Pm me

I think I may be desperate enough to drink the decaf I have. It's at least the smell of coffee. Then again, maybe I will just stay in bed all day. Turn on the heat lamp to keep the water defrosted, and let the dog use wee wee pads.
