Mites/Lice?

[afieldssnowyegger]

Found this bug on a chicken I rescued last night. Mites? Or lice?

And how should I treat?

That’s a louse.
Get a permethrin product dust/or liquid and treat the affected bird. Repeat in 7-10 days. is it with your flock? I’d assume they all have lice if so.

No, he’s a stray chicken- in my garage right now.

perfect, I’d treat him 3 consecutive times at 7 day intervals just to be safe.
