About a month ago, I found one of my girls on the bottom of her coop. She was too cold & weak to get into her nest box. Thinking she was in danger of dying, I brought her into the house. It soon became apparent that she was/is infested with mites. I've given her a bath. She's had 2 treatments with ivermectin. I have her in a dog crate with pine shavings. I added Diatamaceous Earth to the pine shavings. I've sprayed her crate, the bedding, the area around the crate & her with pyrethrin spray. She still has mites. Please help!!! I can't seem to get them under control & she's in my house. She's also weak & I'm still afraid that she might die. I don't know what else to do.
I've also treated the ones outside but am limited to what I can do since it's winter. They've been treated with ivermectin twice. I put DE in their pine shavings bedding. It's too cold to bath them or spray the coop down. I know they have mites too but seem to be handling it pretty well. I'm going to change their bedding to straw & add peppermint & lavender as well as DE to their bedding.
Any advice?
