lice eggs?

[tiwilapo]

Hi peeps
I'm new to this, I need some help.
I purchased some older olive eggers (2yrs) I was told they where "molting" not so, LICE! I did catch on and treat everyone before it got through the small flock I have, keeping a close eye and doing lots of cleaning.
How do I deal with the lice eggs? can I get them off?
Do I have to wait for those feathers to fall out?

Hi, welcome to BYC.
What product did you use to treat the lice? You will need to treat at least once more after 7 to 10 days to kill any new lice that hatch out. If it is a heavy infestation, you may need a third application, or you could use Ivermectin as a follow up treatment.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I would treat again after a week using permethrin and again a week after the second treatment.
