Ok, here goes…
I have a 4yr old black orpington that I noticed a week ago was preening herself more than usual so I checked her over and saw she had mites/lice below her vent. I day mites/lice because they aren’t translucent like lice and there aren’t any mites in the coop. I mean not even 1!!!
I cleaned the coop out anyway just as a precaution and treated all my chickens with ivomectin again after a suggestion from where I buy all my chicken supplies from.
They said to keep treating them weekly until all the mites/lice are gone. They have been treated twice niw 1 week apart and I’m due to treat them again today.
last night I noticed daisy out on her own and her comb was looking pale. It hasn’t been super red anyway as all my girls are going through their yearly moult.
I have just got in from work and she was out on her own again so I checked her over and she has a lot of crawly things again. It was getting better and I could only see the odd one 2 days ago.
I haven’t seen her poop but there doesn’t appear to be any diarrhoea in the run.
I will attach a video I just took of the “creep crawler’s”
any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks!
