Is This Lice?

[NatureGirl74]

I think I found lice on one of my roos. He's separated from all the other birds (they don't get along) and I don't see any signs of the others having it. They are currently molting though. I wasn't able to check all of them as thoroughly as I wanted. It's way too hot outside. I didn't see any bugs or nits on any of the others. I haven't seen any nits on this one. Is it possible that since the roo doesn't come into contact with the other birds he's the only one that has it? How should I treat it?

Yes I think it is.

You can use Permethrin dust or spray to treat the birds and housing.

It works, but one bottle didn't last long for me. How many birds do you have?

I have 15 chickens and a pair of peafowl. I have 1 and half bottles of this spray.

You should have enough then! You might not for the coop but you should for the birds.
