Mite or lice eggs?

[Elementalkaty]

Help! Just noticed these white clumps all over a hens neck. I just bought her a couple weeks ago from a local farm and im kind of new to chickens so a little worried

That looks like lice nit clusters. I had to pick them off the one silkie chicken that was infected with them a few years back.

You need to treat her for external parasites ever week for 3-4 weeks. You may or may need to pick those clusters off after treatment.

You need to spray the coop as well. Every ten days for at least 2 treatments.

I agree, lice.

Isolate her so the other birds don't get the lice and treat. Good luck...
